LORENZ vs Kore, A REAL WORLD BEATING and the RESULTS

I am able to do a comparison of both LORENZ and Kore systems because
I've had both under my truck and have put the same amount of miles on
each. By far the Lorenz 2.5 system has gotten the job done and has been
trouble free. Lorenz springs are better (holding up from sagging) and
defiantly, the service is unmatched compared to kore.

Out here when we get rain it turns into a mud pit, after it dries the roads
become concrete solid. With all of the heavy Oilfield Rig traffic, tractors, and
full size trucks running through it, the roads become rutted, and the ruts
turn concrete tough after a couple of days of baking in the sun. Bottom
line the road conditions changed after the first rain. I called Sean
discussed what I was experiencing traveling the roads and how the suspension
was working. He suggested the adjustments we could make with valving to
accommodate the terrain I drive in. That day he had my new valving sent out
for me to install. And away I went smooth riding.

I travel anywhere from 200-350 miles off-road every day in North West
New Mexico for work. I'm a Oilfield Automation Tech. 5 days a week these suspensions
are/were put to the Real Test on the same truck. The Kore did not handle the
terrain like I wanted. After a lot of massaging, a couple o-ring changes, and more than one valve job I sold the Kore "Race" kit. Here's a link to the story/soap opera from a couple months back. My experience with KORE I pocketed some cash,and bought the Lorenz 2.5 setup. I have not been disappointed yet with this Lorenz setup. So far I have had the Lorenz 2.5 setup for 43,000 hard off road miles and it is working like a proven suspension for me. The longevity
has been there with this system and it's proven it's self.

I recently bought another truck that will be getting Lorenz new 2.25
setup. Since this truck will not come close to seeing the off-road miles my
work truck gets, the 2.25 system should fit the bill for when I do want to
go play, hunt, and have fun outdoors with the truck.

You can not go wrong with Lorenz in my opinion, my daily off
roading experience over the past year has proven it.
