So as many of you know I have done quite a few mods to Big White. One is I've lowered by 2" in the rear with Saleen lowering blocks and 2" in the front via Torsion Twist. I've also replaced all the front suspension components with new OEM and added camber adjusters. Bilstein shock have been installed on the front as well as the rear 3rd shock and new OEM rear ARC shocks. I also have the Saleen rear sway bar installed. No need for the front since I have a 2000. I've also trimmed 50% of the bump stops - front and rear. I was thinking about buying the Explorer Express rear bump stops.
The handling improvement from these mods has been great but I'm thinking it can be better. I really would like to keep the rear ARC system but not sure if there are any improved shocks that will work with that system. I'm also thinking that maybe I should replace the rear springs as well. What do you all think? If so, who makes the best set of rear springs and why type/specification should I be going for? Cost is not a factor for me here.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
