Just got the kit! And im super stoked! but my shocks i ordered from Elka are not in yet. My question is... i want to put the Kit on this weekend since i have free time. am i going to have a problem just running the stock shocks for a weekend or should i wait until my Elkas arrive?

Thanks

I believe the stock shocks will be very very bouncy with not enough spring force. If your talking about leaving the stockers on just to hold up the rhino until the aftermarkets arrive, I can't imagine why that wouldn't work.

If you drive it, I don't think it will damage the rhino, it will just be very bouncy and will bottom the suspension alot.

That's what i was thinking... that it would be bouncy.

You can run the stock shocks for this kit. That is what I have heard, from LSR.

Stock size shocks will work.

I'd run it...more stability at least. Also, you'll have the difficult part of the install out of the way. The shocks install will be a cinch later. You can't really dial in the stock shocks, but it should feel alot better that stock arms.

you should be fine. The will bolt on with out issues. I can say that you will want to max out the spring pre-load adjustment using a big pipe wrech (make them stiffer). We haven't actually driven the car with the stock shocks, but when i bolted them on the car just to see what it would do, i could stand on the back bumper and jump up and down, and make the car bottom. This was with a 4 seat cage, and jettrim rear bench, and all 150 lbs of me.. so it will be very soft, and will probably bottom out easy. But you won't hurt anything except the stock shocks from excessive bottoming. So tear it up.. but be advised they will be really soft!

O.K. cool thanks for the info. My shocks are supposed to be here next week so i was going to install this weekend. but if they didnt show up i wanted make sure i wouldnt hurt anything running the stockers for a weekend at the dunes.

:fest30: Yay!

Started the install today! everything went well so far. i started late so i basically just got the front torn apart and the new axles put into the cv's.

Here's some picks

let us know what you think of the +3 kit when it's all said and done. I am thinking hard about the +3 for my ride. I'm in a muddy and thickly wooded area so width is a big concern. +3 seems just right for me..

 

[Slim-E]

Finished

Mad props to LSR everything went together like it was OEM parts.

Now, hopefully my shocks show up on Tuesday and i'll be all good for this weekend! if not i'll be bombing the stockers!

anybody else heading to Glamis next weekend?

No! no offence but those DFR pipes are LOUD! The RhinoCraft's have a really deep reverb to them. Not the ear piercing whine the DFR's have. IMO
