Default Done with Kore

I've had me fill.. having a hell of a time getting replacement parts for the Fox shocks and when I do they areEXPSENSIVE!!! So, I'll pulling the Kore stuff off and adding a 6" SuperLift, this allow me to run the 35" tires I want, as my rims I have with the back spacing only allow me to run 33" w/o rubbin. Goingto do the installtomorrow. After the lift is installed got me a Amsoil oil bypass to install... gonna install filter same as Drew did (good place for it out of the mud and rocks ) Will try to post pics as soon as I can. Just finished changing engine oil, diffs, tranny and transfer case, next time I'll use Amsoil.

Guess I should order some Mag-Hytec Diff covers as well... with the front dual steering stablizer I have to remove the one shock to to add or remove the OEM cover, the Mag-Hytec with the drain plug on the bottom of the cover and the dip stick placed higher would make life easier. [&:]

What's wrong w/ your 2.0's? Also you can run 35" or 37" tires (fiberglass)w/ the correct backspacing (5.5"-6"). On a 17" or 18" wheel w/ 8.0"-9.0" maxwidth (even though you mentioned it). What are you going to do w/ the KORE System? What accesories do you have on it?

I think you will make a mistake going to a lift instead of staying w/ a suspension system. I would try talking to Marek at Desert Proven or Keg Parker w/ you problem w/ the Fox's. If you are still not satisfied. Then go w/ Carli or Lorenz. Just my 2 cents.

I'd go with Carli before I went with Superlift.

Yeah I would like to know what problems you're having since I'm ordering my Kore kit Friday. I emailed Kore last week on wheel backspacing and the replied that you can run 35's with 5-1/2" to 6-1/2" backspacing. So what is the backspacing on your wheels?

I am curious too.... I am planning on ordering a KORE for my 06 next year. Was it the Fox shocks, or something with the leveling kit? I am hoping to get the Bilsteins with the HD leveling kit I order.

I've only had them for 4000 miles so really couldn't tell if I would get another set or not. Since I put them on these rims they haven't held their balance so I'm going to have them reblanced next week and see how they do after that. If they continue to become unbalanced I would never get another set, one thing I can't stand is a unblanced tire. I've had other guy's tell me that they had problems keeping theirs balanced also. As far as the sand I couldn't tell you, in south Louisiana it's either pavement or mud.
