Yea I agree an OR model might not bottom out as much as the others and the better shocks have to help with that. Timbren Mod is for people who hual heavy and tow.
The reason I did the Timbrn is I also loved the original handling of my X after the tires, lift and removing the sway bar, the Timbren got it back.
But seriously guy even with all the weight I have added I can still take a ramp at Plus 50% of the posted speed and stick to it! SO even a good bit of performance over stock.
I think an X with no lift takes a different spacer for the rear.
Anyhow you are right. I did Timbren to bring it back to stock handling. After the lift, tires and sway bar removal.
