in this pic, you'll see the shock hoop and look carefully at the welds, where the coilbucket was cut, and the spring collar on the coilover to give an idea of where the coilbucket was at and the difference of where the mounting point is NOW versus where it originally was. this allows for additional travel and that much more dampening in a longer coilover. this shock hoop is what PRG designed and has made that he sells.






and look at PRG's own custom set-up on his titan, this shock hoop he designed specifically for the use of a bypass shock inconjunction with a coilover spring. this is not what he's got for sale, this of course is totally customized to his wants. this setup alone, just in the front, costs more than 7 grand, consider the bypass shocks a piece are $1500. but this gives you an idea of what a shock hoop does.




and of course the forever badass 03 CST Titan... another completely custom set-up...

DAMNIT!!!!!!! unfortunately due to the front axle of the 4x4 you are somewhat limited unless you have some serious custom work done. call up PRG (greg) and he can seriously break it all down for you! greg builds/designs/specs suspensions for many offroad race teams and his shock valving experience is downright phenomenal!!!
