Anyone know the Status/situation of Viking offroad- Viking Offroad? Been checking their website for several days and keep getting this:
Unfortunately he has shut down Viking offroad. Other life obligations and opportunities meant it was time to hang it up. He said the best bet was ORC for a similarly compliant ride. They only seem to offer 40mm in lift height, so if you want the 70mm that Thor springs gave then you would need a spring spacer as well.
Viking said ORC is probably the next best option for similar ride quality. They offer about 30mm-40mm of lift. Talked with GWagenparts yesterday, and he has a kit from Rogue/Fox that he says is pretty similar in height/ride quality to the Viking/Thor springs. I think he has a set in stock if you want to reach out to him.
I can tell you that just swapping to Fox adjustable shocks will make a substantial difference. You could start there if you want, but they might be a touch long on a G55 with no lift springs or spacers. The G55 sits a touch low, and the Fox shocks are little longer than the factory shocks if I remember correctly.
I've been able to get ORC stuff direct, but pre-pandemic it was a PITA, so I can only imagine what it's like now. Not sure if anyone actually stocks their stuff here in the US.

Do you feel caster correction is necessary at 40mm lift (ORC/Fox 2.0 Setup)?
