Shockwaves

2k2indigoxtreme · 07-25-2006, 02:44 PM

I have been looking to bag the front of my truck for some time now, and I like the ease of installation from the ART Shockwave setup. My question is though, will I be able to untuck a 20'' wheel up front with that small of bag? Id like to run 20/22s but its a daily driver and I need to untuck enough to turn fully. I was told that It can only untuck an 18...

THANKS,
Scott

Beuller?

Beuller?

Anyone?

55chevy03 · 07-27-2006, 12:36 AM

I have them with 18's up front I think 20's would clear enough to turn all the way when do you do a full crank anyway though

2k2indigoxtreme · 07-27-2006, 08:47 AM

Wheres the best/ most reasonable place to purchase the Shockwaves? And will they still handle nicely?

sd.com or ART.com

That will depend on your overall diameter. It should work just fine unless you are running some stupid large wheel or have a terrible wheel and tire fitment.

Is a 22" wheel(255/30/22 tire 28" overall height) a stupid large wheel Tony?

Im considering the shockwaves again since I want shock and I wouldnt be able to turn with shock relocators. How much lift/drop will shockwaves give you? Tony do you have an s10? or someone at ridetech that can take some more detailed lift/drop pics of the s10 and tell me whats installed on it.

GakiAkuma · 07-28-2006, 08:39 PM

The price for the shockwaves is that for one or 2?

xtucking22s · 07-29-2006, 12:14 PM

GakiAkuma · 07-29-2006, 04:00 PM

ok kool, cause I was figuring out how much shiping was so I was checking and when it was added to the car it added 2 so I f igured yeah

GakiAkuma · 07-30-2006, 06:40 PM

How much lift and drop will the shockwaves give?

Good question. I would like to know that as well. TONY?

***DJDAudio*** · 07-31-2006, 12:09 AM

I had the Gen 1 Shockwaves I belive. a real nice unit. but my travel was not the best.

This may have changed with the new Think it is Gen 3 shockwave

Just my input the HAL shocks where awsome.

This was taken from their catalog. 3 different sizes of the 1000 v3.0

Collapsed Length - Ride Height - Extended Length - Stroke
9.19" - 10.75" - 11.79" - 2.6"
10.65" - 13" - 14.76" - 4.1"
11.56" - 14.5" - 16.56" - 5"

GakiAkuma · 07-31-2006, 04:30 AM

yeah I seen that but it dosnt help much, I mean does it give how many inches of drop from stock? I mean does it give 6in 8in of drop? does it five 6in-8in of lift? I dont understand that chart.

2k2indigoxtreme · 08-01-2006, 04:15 PM

Well along with the front question, I am also looking to bag the rear. But I dont need a crazy one-off four link. I am going to be acquring some toys relatively soon and with a 6'' drop out back I just want some leveling. Would it be more recommended to purchase the air over leaf, or the 7000/9000 shockwaves (to replace my rear shocks)?

Um someone correct me if im wrong, but im 99.999% sure that you definitly cant just replace your rear shocks with shockwaves. Air overleaf is a cheap way to do the rear set up but isnt the safest way to go cuz you chance breaking leafs....monoleafing. Its an allright temporary setup so ive learned but you dont want it long term. You should get either the ART Airbar(bolt on, no cutting) or Roadgrater(cutting and laying frame)

2k2indigoxtreme · 08-01-2006, 05:22 PM

I have a blazer, so neither of those work as far as I know. And i dont plan on monoleafing, just removing a leaf or two. My main concern is bottoming out on MI roads and highways, especially with friends in the back or a trailer...

Oh I forgot/didnt realize you had a blazer. Ya i dont know what blazer guys usually do for the rear sorry.

98CHEVY · 08-02-2006, 08:53 PM

I'll have a set of shockwaves (1st gen) up for sale in a few months let me know if your interested. (Think 1/2 Price)

How do you get the shockwaves with the 5" stroke?

I didn't see any part numbers for those in the catalog. I guess you would have to call them up to see whats available.

GearShftr12 · 08-05-2006, 05:26 PM

does anyone have pics of an xtreme with shockwaves???

***Tony@AirRideTech*** · 08-07-2006, 10:58 AM

the ride height is dropped by 2-2.5" from stock. You can deflate roughly 3" from there and you will have a total of about 5-5.5" of travel at the wheel.

thanks...thats the detailed info i was looking for. Thats with stock spindles I assume?

GearShftr12 · 08-08-2006, 02:04 AM

Hey is there much difference in ride height between stock A-Arms and Tubular A-Arms?

xtucking22s · 08-08-2006, 09:38 AM

A arms dont make any height difference

***98layinframe*** · 08-11-2006, 04:04 PM

shockwaves suck.... they dont provide 1/2 the useable travel you can get with a normal bag and cup combo. The only nice part about them is the shock is in there.

55chevy03 · 08-13-2006, 02:07 PM

yeah I have the shockwaves and lower control arms with 18 with a 225 40 and I wish I got a little more lift but i clear everything just fine

How do you like them otherwise? how much lift/drop do you get? basically the difference in height with it slammed to aired up at ride height. Any pics of it up and down?
