    Viking shock upgrade

    I just put some R-Spec shocks with some Eibach springs on my Viking. All I can say is WOW and thanks to James for getting me the right springs and talking with me through the process. Tried to post some pics but won’t let me sorry.

    Mello's vike is a mean machine!

    Thinking I'd like to copy the rspec shock and Eibach spring setup.

    Several objectives:

    Get rid of rear sag and handle a loaded bed (100+/- lbs) - Just tools, spare, etc.
    Get a smoother ride (although my ride doesn't seem all that bad)
    Get rid of front right tire slamming into my floor board. In other words, provide clearance for my front 30's.

    So if I go with Eibach Springs, I'll have to remove my lift - correct? This will be my next mod.

    Thanks skrillz’s I removed my front lift because the eibach springs on the r-spec shocks give me the lift I need. As for the rear I still have the stock shocks they don’t ride that bad due to all the weight I carry but all that weight has really made those inferior stock springs sag badly.

    Hey man… sorry in advance for peppering you with questions. James, if you read this, appreciate any quick blurb you can offer up.

    1) What's the offset on your wheels? I'm at a 0 offset which brings the wheels in a litter further than most. Not sure if your exact set up is going to keep my 30's from slamming into the floor board.

    2) It's gonna be hard to find r-spec shock absorbers too. What about doing a Viking elka shock with the long eibach springs?

    My wheel offset is 5+2. I have 14 1/2 in ground clearance in the front with no lift and plenty of preload left in the r-spec shocks if I want more.
