Re: shock advice
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.

Re: shock advice
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.

Re: shock advice
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.
