  • Tryin to settle an argument

    OK, JimmyRig and I are tryin to settle an argument on which shocks would be best for me and for my buck and we want to see what you guys think so:

    What is the best shock for your buck?

    It cant be OME cause they dont make long enough shock for my application or i would have already bought them.

    Post up your opinions and please only post if you have EXPERIENCE with the shock.

    Thanks guys.

    I like rancho 9000's and rubicon express monotube, have had them both on for a year or more. You can get either in multiple sizes and they both ride very nicely.

      it kinda depends on the money you want to spend Allen, i think bilstien 5100s are pretty good for the money, and you can get them in any size/valving you want, i have those in the rear and 5150s in the front..not so happy with the 5150s.

        Perhaps you might consider Doetsch Tech's shocks?
        http://www.doetsch-shocks.com/
        I've used the Doetsch Tech HV-1's on the front end for about two years and their Mono-tube 2.0's on the rear for about six months now. I have been very satisfied with their products-it totally transformed the ride of the Jeep. They built units that had longer extension to match the flexability of my Rubicon 4.5" lift and easily handle the weight of MTR tires.
        Money pit!

          Fox coilover conversion ...Seriously, I can tell you that I don’t really care for the Skyjacker shocks. I have them on all 4 corners and they are to stiff for me.

                    Fox smooth body shox. $140 a pop but it'll be the last shock you'll every buy. Completely rebuildable and revalveable.

                      i have some fox shocks for sale. pm me if interested. used apx. 1 year.
                      they are 11" and 12" 2.0 emulsion shocks.
                      they are being replaced with coilovers, there is nothing wrong with these shocks.

                          The 9000's fade too fast for my liking. I have Bilstein 5100's in my Tacoma, though, and they are the best shock I have ever run.

                            In my honest opinion through experience, I think the Rancho 9000 is a great shock for the buck.

                              Johnson, you have no experience 9000s besides the pair sitting in the garage, go back and work on your Asian Mobile...

                              looks like if i dont get Erik's Foxs, ill go with 5100s.

                              and not 9000s Jimmy
