Anyone know the coilover part number that comes with the Porterbuilt stage 2 kit
 
I'm assuming that the coilover shocks that come in the Porterbuilt stage 2 setup for the rear end are just the sleeve type and I would like to cross reference the part number to a true coilover shock. Thanks for any help.

I'm confused by your question.

As far as I know the Stage two rear kit comes with standard KYB shocks.
The Porterbuilt rear coilover kits do use REAL coilovers.
They are RideTech's newest coilovers. ($$$)

I may understand your wording now.
Porterbuilt sells a coilover kit that uses a 4-link rear suspension.
He also has a coilover kit that uses his tubular trailing arms.
(I assume this is the Stage 2 Coilover kit)

Both still use RideTech's coilovers,... which like you said is a "monotube" design.http://www.ridetech.com/tech/coiltech/#cutaway

What brand coilover do you want to run?
I think Fox makes these for RideTech and I've heard good things about them.

They are available in 3 different versions:
"Available as a fixed valve, rebound single adjustable, or triple adjustable shock."

I would just contact Porterbuilt directly.

I think I'd like to go with the triple adjustable coilover. I didn't realize there were different options available.

Keith, I think he was referring to the cheap sleeve type coil over and not the one were the threads are part of the actual shock. This is what I call the sleeve type...Jim
