Planning a russian siberian trip, and it's going to be rough going. With a fully loaded 110 I'm not looking forward to all the shocks that could fail.
Whats people's advice?
I want to keep things standard, i.e. standard shocks, no lift. so replacement parts is a bit easier in emergency. Was thinking of double shocks front / rear, but don't have any experience. Would prefer not to have to drill / weld anything on, only bolt
Terrafirma do a double shock setup that bolts, but they say the rear ones might require spacers on the wheels - something I don't want to do so avoid extra wheel bearing load, anyone know for sure?
Would it be better to take spares and just drive slow and suck it up if I have to change some on the road, or fit some double shocks that are proven and carry the spares 'fitted' so to speak.
cheers.
