What rear shocks to use with Jeff's spacers?
« on: February 25, 2016, 03:50:35 AM »
I've had Jeff's spacers on for a few years now. I don't remember what shocks were used when I first did this. I just put shocks from a Cavalier on and they are way too soft. I'm thinking maybe shocks from a F 150 or something were used. Does anybody have an idea? This is on a 2001 4 door Tracker.

Hi, used the 3180 Doetsch Tech 3000 Series http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/suzuki-off-road-parts/tracker-vitara-gv-xl7/suspension/doetsch-tech-shocks.html , They are a bit hard but excellent for irregular terrain, I have installed for 2 years without any problems .

I guess I'll give those a try. Wish I remembered what I put on when I did it. Really liked the ride.
