TeraFlex Shocks 2D vs. 4D
So I messed up an order and have shocks for my two door Wrangler coming that are suppose to be for a four door. I realized my mistake right away, but Amazon was too fast for me and didn't accept my cancellation. I did order the 2D version planning to just return the others when they get here. I contacted TeraFlex to ask about the difference and they said, "4dr shocks are tuned differently and will ride extremely stiff and hard on a 2dr, I would not recommend running them on your 2dr." That got me thinking (dangerous, I know). The reason for this must be the additional weight of the 4D. Most of my miles are spent pulling a small travel trailer with light off roading once at a destination. I wondering if the stiffer ride could be a handling advantage for towing with a weight that may comes close to the combined rating (GCWR)? Anyone with experience or thoughts on this?

This kind of reminds me of folks that say they are building for 80% on road and 20% off road, until someone comments "it must be nice to go wheeling 6 days every month". I would stick with 2dr springs for your situation. I believe you will do more driving without something behind you, and that is what you should build for. If you need anything additional in regard to support towing a trailer, then air bags are cheap.
