As some of you may know, I've been making great strides on my trailer build(Mobile Base Camp Build).
I have arrived at the point in time where I must select shocks for this trailer.
The airbags provide for 9.5" of travel, and I would like a shock to match that. I have bumpstops to limit up travel and will be installing limit straps to limit down travel.
I originally thought I had struck gold by finding some 10" travel Fox 2.0 shocks for $25/ea that are fully serviceable. Unfortunately they turned out to be setup internally as steering stabilizers and would require significant modifications/replacement of parts to be useful as a shock absorber($$$).
I don't want to skimp out and buy some cheap shocks that will fail me in short order, but the budget for this trailer was long ago expended and I cannot justify $100/shock on a trailer.
What would you guys advise? Basic oil shock? Mono-tubes? Quadruple bypassesp)?
