View Full Version : Shocks, Great suspension kits

I'm on my second pair of shocks in the past year since widening my rims. I was wondering if there is a pair of Bilstein Shocks that will fit the Marauder if not what alternatives. I'm thinking my 1.25 spacer and my customized 11inch wide rims in the rear have something to do with going through shocks. I was one of the people that sent his rims out to be widened. I love how it looks, but I'm pretty sure it's affecting the shocks and suspension. Can anybody else give me some advice of what they have done, if they have done the same to their Marauder or if you know someone who went though these similar problems.
Thanks,
Woody

Widening the wheels shouldn't have much of an effect if any on the shocks.

I have had widened rims for 3 years and still riding on stock shocks with no problems.

Not sure about Marauder fitment, but I just installed KYB Gas-A-Just police spec shocks. Great ride when cruising and firms right up when cornering and braking.
AFAIK, Bilstein has not made any shocks that fit 03+ Panthers, including Marauders.

Do you have them in just the rear or in the front also? Should I get the struts too?

I have them on all 4 corners.

All four! A little firmer on the rebound, and a little tighter into turns are the only differences you will feel.
Can feel rear firmness especially over/after speed bump! ZERO bounce.
