Very nice! Do you have more details on the Elka shocks? I only see suspension for smaller vehicles on their site.

They have been building high-end ATV, UTV and snowmobile shocks for about 20 years and are now moving into the Truck and SUV segment. They are bringing some cool new features to market at a comparable price point to say an equivalent Fox, King, etc. One really nice feature for folks who live in areas where they salt or mag-chloride the roads is a hard-anodized aluminum body vs a zinc-plated steel body. The zinc-plated steel bodies typically rust/corrode after only one season of use. They should be available soon from retailers like Downsouth Motorsports in San Diego.
