Best value mid budget shocks

Love the shock value series. I keep hoping they're going to come out with an episode for the 4th gen.

Not from the center of the hub, no.
The front was measured at 37 and the rear was at 38 5/8. Both of these measurements were taken from the ground to the bottom of the fender trim.
Hope this is of help though.

That is helpful, thank you.

Did you go with the 0 or 440# rear springs?

Did you change uca’s, or stick with stock?

Are you still enjoying the ride? Any off road testing yet?

*The rear springs are 0 to 400lbs.

*I did change the UCA's to the OME UCA's.

*Nothing crazy off road. Just a few forest service roads.

Unfortunately, I do have some bad news to report. The strut on the passenger side has developed play in the top hat. It results in a noticeable rattle while traveling down the dirt roads. Man did I go down a rabbit hole trying to find the rattle.
I think it was assembled wrong from the factory. I have been in contact with ARB, and they are supposed to be sending me a new strut to replace it. They want me to send the strut that is damage back once I get it changed out so their engineers can take a look at it.

Here is a video of what is happening. Sorry for the shaking but you can really see it in the last 3-5 secs.

6112/5160s are supposed to be released Q4. Feel like that’s going to be the move. I’m going to pair those with the TRD UCAs and call it a day

Do you know the part number on the 4th gen pro UCAs?

I have the MT64's installed. After a few days of driving, they settled 38.75inches in the front and right at 40inches in the rear. Measured from the ground, center of the hub up to the bottom of the fender trim. I have the clip on the front struts set to the second from the bottom (No Accessory added). Runing 28570r17 tires 31 psi. Ride is frailly comfy. It's a little bit firmer. Not as pillowy as the stock off road suspension was. I no longer get the cluck when going over speed bumps though. I will say that I wish that ARB offered some isolators for the bottom of the rear spring. They seem to make some seating noise sometimes when going down the dirt roads. 

What setting are the Circlips set on for the front struts?
