    Hi does anyone here changed their shocks in the new Fort to have a more comfortable ride? I inquired with Atoy customs and they said better to change them with "NAM" brand or Bilstein brand. Thanks! I need you feedback on this.

    I don't have the new Fort but I have a lot of experience with Bilsteins. All HD Bilsteins (the ones for pickups and suvs) are high pressure (relatively) gas charged and mono tube construction with digressive valving. This means small dips and bumps like rumble strips will feel harsh but deep and tall holes and bumps will be dismissed easily.

    Koni Heavy Track is much better at balancing on and off road ride quality. That's what I'm using in my pickup now.

    Malabo na yan kahit paitan mo ng shocks, strut yan eh. The most primitive of all suspension systems but the most dursble

    Dapat naka wishbone and multilink self-adjusting sa rear ang suspension system

    Front is double wishbone setup. Paano naging strut ang mga ladderframe suvs?

    Independent multilink sa rear also.

    Also tagtag can be lessened with proper damping rates.

    Have you tried adjusting your tire pressure?

    Experience ko sa 2016 Fort, Tarlac area yon. for kids, It's a fun ride parang trampoline hehe! lalo sa mga semintadong may mga hati hati.
    ok yan pag puno kayo pero kung 2 to 3 passengers? parang jeepney ang ride akala mo leaf spring 28psi front tapos sa rear 30psi.

    magiimprove ang ride nyan pag lagyan nalang ng mga barbell.

    pero kung ride comfort hanap mo dapat sana Innova nalang pinili mo.
