RE: Kore suspension systems
Yep, their site and suspension systems look great. I haven't looked into the prices yet, but I guess i should get that info so I don't run into sticker shock. I like the fact that everything can go back to stock since it is all designed to fit OEM style. I'll post when I get prices so long as it's not against any forum rules.

I just finished my KORE Unlimited installation last week. Their prices are high for sure. There are other alternatives though. Carli and Lorenz and Don Thuren. The all have good stuff also. When you handle KORE parts though, there is a difference.
I've never gotten to ride in a Carli truck as of yet. I've heard that their street handling may be a little better. I can't confirm this. You don't see anyone running their stuff in Baja though, yet. However, remember what you need in Baja is different then what you need on the street.
What I can say is, if the KORE Unlimited has "poor" street handling characteristics; then I don't know what I'm missing since the truck now rides like a Cadilac on the pavement. I hit a cattle grate today at 50mph, and I barely felt/heard the thing. Hitting curbs at speed has little effect on the truck when doing 20 - 30mph. It just soaks it up, and transfers very little of the impact into the cab.
Hitting those warning bumps before a stoplight on a highway, the ones where they place them across the entire roadway to get your attention. Usually in 4 sets of them are almost non-existant. Before, they felt like they'd bump steer you into the sticks if you hit them at 60 - 70mph.
I don't really have a brand loyalty to one or another. There are products from each maker that I prefer over the other.

RE: Kore suspension systems
Zzyzx313,
Very nice truck. I have an '07 Power Wagon and I'm dealing with KLM Performance here on the East coast for the Kore stuff. I'm getting prices of about 2500.00 for the Chase series and about 5400.00 for a Race set-up. The thing is I really would like to have a full set of Deaver rear springs rather than the Deaver mini packs that come with the Chace/Race setups. Also, I want the Kore control arms to eliminate rubbing with the 35" Toyo M/T's I plan on putting on. I'm thinking the Technical series might be the way to go, but I'm curious on the price for the unlimited setup you have. BTW, I am being told that anything over the Chase setup is not the way to go if it will be a daily driver, but it seems you don't agree with that?h
Also, a quick question. Has the rear Deaverleaf packs reduced wheel hop when off-road compared to stock?I get terrible wheel hop under accelerationin hard packsand with the stock Power Wagonleafs. I'm curious if I'd see an improvement with Deavers.
Thanks Bud
