I was wondering what you guys thought about them because i am thinking about getting them for my truck

 

truthfully they suck...i had thm on my old jeep and on my z71...didnt impress me one bit, yes they are on the cheaper side but they will fade really quickly...imo save a few extra coins and go bilstein...you wil be glad u did

 

anything other than bilsteins that would be better? what about rancho shocks?

 

i dont really like rancho(made by monroe), but they are a step up from the skycrappers. i had the fabtech shocks and liked those...also the pro comp es series has an oversized shaft and are really good considering the rep pro comp has...but they have definately stepped up. if u dont plan on lifting try the edelbrock IAS and kyb monomax(resonably priced too). ive also heard pretty good things about the rough country/hecklethorn shocks

 

ok well i am lifting the front of my truck with lift coils and maybe later down the road the rear a little but i just need new shocks so just want some ideas and i want reasonable priced ones

 

bump!

 

try the pro comp es9000 they are pretty cheap and im pretty sure you will be happy with them

 

If you are going to run it hard then the gas shock is a good bet against fading but if you are running on the street, sometimes in the woods and no jumping then a good quality hydro shock will give a better ride.
Hydraulic Shocks will fade after a while if the trail/course you are running is hard and fast or extremely rough.
I just ordered Coil-Over Shocks with Emulsion, don't know where that will go but time will tell.

 

im gonna go with the procomp es9000 gas shocks
