Any Pro-Comp shock recommendations?
Any Pro-Comp shock recommendations?
I need something budget friendly, and something better than stock right now. So I'm looking at basic Pro-Comp shocks that go from $30-$40ea. I know they're probably not as great as Bilsteins and the fancy stuff. But I just need a middle of the road shock that'll get the job done. At 60k, I'm basically replacing the shocks and upgrading for a little off-road performance. On-road/ride doesn't really bother me.
Procomp ES1000 Series $29.99
The ES1000 performance series shock absorber is designed to replace the factory shock and provides optimum performance enhancing driving comfort and vehicle control. To provide a superior seal for the S-924 high temperature shock fluid, a multi-lip, spring tensioned rod seal is used. The ES1000 includes a black poly-vinyl boot engineered to shield the large 5/8” chrome hardened piston rod from the elements, which in turn prolongs the life of the shock. Utilizing a 1 3/8” nylon banded full displacement piston head and double welded shock mounts, the ES1000 assures strength and long lasting durability for even the most demanding of driving conditions.

Don't waste your money on pro comps trust me. I had there 3k series for a year and hated the ride. I upgraded to bilstien 7100 series resivor shocks and it was a night and day difference i would save the money for bilstiens.
I have monroe cheap-o's in the front (rockauto FTW, and they are amazing! soft and not bouncy), I have es9000's in the rear nd they are stiff...but I like them
I'd say either es3000's all the way around or 3000 up front 9000 in the rear.

I had es3000s all around for a long time. The front wasn't bad but the rear was super stiff. Bone jarring stiff, I hated them. I upgraded to the Rancho9000x and they were a much better shock, got tire of those, upgraded to Bilstien 5150s which were super nice shocks. But then I clocked my rear shock tabs and they were too long so I'm back to stock shocks with deavers and the ride couldn't be better.
I would get bilstien over procomps though....

$50 plus shipping? They're on my truck now. I paid $125 for the new 5125's sitting in my garage, but nothing wrong with the ones that are on it now. Just felt like buying new ones while I was at my buddy's 4wd shop. lol
Oops, just the two out back. I have the Bilstein coil-overs up front that came with the RCD and what RCD uses for the rear for shocks are the Bilstein 5125's. That's what I'll be selling. Just the rear for $50 +shipping. Alone they sell for $75 a piece at almost any shop or online place.
