Lorenzo's 2.25 system on sale? (delete double post)
Anyone using his stuff? For the price looks like a great system. Whats up with the plush ride and the IR coils?
I know people prefer Carli but for the non hard core driver who wants a better ride and a lift to make it more streetable and more capable off road all the big 3 are apples to apples.
Thanks

I've looked at the Lorenz systems and find them to be good suspension systems. I have my mutt suspension only because of the deal I got on the Kore parts. Otherwise, it probably would have been a Lorenz 2.25 or complete Thuren system. No need to spend the $$ on Carli or KORE, but they sure are sweet systems, too!!

Diablo...people get a little charged over the susp topic here on DTR....
I like mine for what i wanted it for (better ride, handling, no bottoming, the way the susp should have come from the factory, plus a moderate lift)....no it's not an offroad jumping / dunes setup...but i dont do that (with the truck at least)..i love the setup i have for what i want / do with the truck....
All that being said, if i had $8k i had nothing else to use on, i'd love a full boat carli system...why not, it's pretty awesome....

Those people that get "charged" are the people that have been in and around this type of suspension for years, and know where Lorenz suspension really comes from.
Diablo, You can piece together or get a kit from Don Thuren at www.Thurenfabrication.com Super easy to talk to and he can get you your suspension dialed for whatever you would do with it.
Carli has great stuff as well, and KORE aint bad, but it is just as stiff on road, as your stock stuff.
Good luck!

I'll second that... I'm on my 2nd KORE spring/shock system. The front is significantly stiffer, the rear is softer, valving is super stiff. Handles very well on-road for a lifted truck, but I'd prefer the much softer ride of the full Thuren/King setup or Carli's system...

Thuren, King, Carli almost the same. Don uses Carli's springs for his systems...In the process of receiving my full "Thuren Full King System" from Don. I was just in the LA area for vacation and picked up the full leafs from Carli's shop to save money on shipping.

So for the value is it a good deal? Can the other guys put together their stuff for the same price? And what about the IR plush and HD coils. Any feed back on those?

I think the best "value" is going with Don, since he can have the KING's valved for any type of driving you personally want to do............

ummm, Don's front coils in his full King system are coming for Carli too...they are on back order or I would have picked them up the same time from Jesse at Carli.
