Depends on what you want to do. If your wanting a all off road shock than you can't beat fox shocks with resistors or kings. If your wanting a 50/50 on road off road, I have hurd good things about rancho. For all on road, beilstein makes some good stuff.

Re: Offroad shocks
basically just want a decent all terrain shock that is a little longer to accommodate cranked tbars. Leaning toward the ranchos but I want to hear some real world experiences!

Re: Offroad shocks
i have pro comp es3000s on my jeep, and the es9000s on my ranger. they ride so well. the es9000s make my ranger ride like a caddy. but theyre a little more expensive.

Re: Offroad shocks
bilstein 5100s are great for a combination of on/offroad performance. they're the shocks camburg uses on their 5.5 and 6.0 ranger mid travel kits.

I've Hurd a lot of good things about the ranching shocks. I would say go for it if it's the only shock you can find. But you could also get whatever shocks you want and than get shock extenders

Re: Offroad shocks
