Anyone know the Status/situation of Viking offroad- Viking Offroad? Been checking their website for several days and keep getting this:

 

I'll shoot them a text message and see what's going on.

 

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.

 

@The Butcher I appreciate your follow-up. Thank you. Now back to the search- #1priority is improved ride 2nd priority is lift height

 

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.

 

Anyone know of a seller they can recommend that seels the ORC/Fox as a package for the G55?

 

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.

 

We can offer you the ORC/Fox setup, however the FOX shocks are on back order right now.

Let us know..Thank you!

 

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

 

You don't need caster corrections for 40mm lift. We run a 70mm lift on our personal G and no camber caster needed.
