I used G19 rear shocks up front and in the back. They are much stiffer that stock G9. Make sure the tie rods are adjusted properly.

I'd say it's slightly stiff, but I have added some weight over stock..... Brush guard, rear bumper, and of course the Briggs motor. The front will still get a winch, so I'm guessing it will be about right. Really hasn't had a heavy work out yet though.

Figured it would really ride rough. Was going to do this myself some time back but figured it would beat me to death in the field.
