lorenz vs. kore

[Kurt Henzler]

has anybody tested them both on the highway and unpaved roads at a normal speed. (not 55 mph in the desert). i am looking at their springs and can not decide. the lorenz is 2 inch lift vs the 2. 5 to 3. 0 with the kore and 5100 shocks. i had hd coil from kore on a 03 quad cab with road armor bumper and it was stiffer than stock, had to lower tire pressure to get a good ride and not knock your change out of your ash tray on the smallest potholes in the road. i would not even consider kore again , but now they have a new coil.

I had the Kore springs w/Bilstein 7100's on my '99. That combination provided 2 1/2" to 3" of lift and a very stiff ride. My Lorenz setup with firmer valved 2. 25 SAW's and 23% coils provides 2" of lift and much more compliant ride with the same load. Kore does,however,offer a variable rate coil that's supposed to ride softer until compressed. I'm pleased with the Lorenz setup.

Now i just dont see how anything could be stiffer than stock!!!!!! It was like ridin a ridgid frame cycle, with the kore hd springs on my 04 i just love it. u can tell u have some springs now.

Fred Flintstone stock suspension.

When unladen,my stock '07 beat me to death on our SoCal freeways with the section joints. Trying to converse with a friend was darn near impossible. Conversely,with 2,000# on my back the truck was practically laying on the bumpstops,zero spring travel. Really a darn poor excuse for a suspension. As stiff as the stock truck was,upon removing the stock shocks,they were mushy as heck. Anyway go with what feels right for you. All three companies provide a vast improvement over stock.
