What Shocks???

[surfenstein]

i may be wrong here but i think im right in saying that tjm shocks dont do anything over +2" hopefully tony will back me on this.

I'd like to change the now aging and slightly knackered ProComp ES9000s with something more substantial - what would be the best option out of:

Monroe
Fox
Koni
Rancho
OME
TJM

And where can I get them from????

Cheers.....

I just bought a whole procomp ES9000 set up +3" and LC springs with uprated steering damper, my budget with 33's and new wheels plus manual hubs wouldn't go much further, hope I enjoy the fun for at least a year.
I'm fitting balljoint spacers too, stop the bouncy torsion bar effect.

pics to follow.

mate i could do with new ranchos at some point but works out pricey with the P&P. if you do order from the states i might be able to come in on it if I can afford new shocks anytime soon...

Btw, didn't you ask this same question several months ago, or was it someone else?

Wasn't me guv'nor.....I don't think it was anyway....

I've been happy with ProComp, but they have taken a severe beating lately, and £35 a corner doesn't last too long....so could do with somethign a little more robust...

I'm not really on a budget, this is my daily drive and weekend fun, the biggest hobby I've ever had, and I am investing in this truck over this year, I've just bought new steering components as the whole front end shakes now, and it sort of skips from one side to the other if you go round a left then a right hand bend....so that can't be good, it pulls to the left when driving along, and to the right under braking, so this next few months, it's new steering bits, new shocks, BJ spacers, coil tops a la Surfenvatchfinkelstein, replace the fuel lines at some stage, recently had starter, batteries, water pump, rocker cover gasket and cam belt & tensioner, next thing is new injectors, fuel pump, oil pump and get the valve clearances checked and adjusted accordingly....

It's my big blue dream machine, and I am going to make sure it's the dangling parts of the dog!

Personally if i was shock hunting again i'd look at TJM ones.

£400 for the Ranchos whilst i have no idea if its good value for money, just seems like a hell of a lot of money for shocks.

Nigel of L.A.S once said that pro comp shocks are to miss quote "best bang for your buck" kind of thing.

You could have 2 sets of ES9000's for the rancho money an still have enough for a few beers!

if you aint on a budget theres better out there

[Apache]

You still recommend the TJM ones??

Dunno. Aint got em yet. I'm hoping they'll be here any day now as the truck's off the road and my ar5e aches with the bike

Is that before VAT and import duty, and 'bend over while we shaft you' tax?

If thats inclusive, it sounds good for some bling.

So is £400 for all 4, plus the internal control unit delivered to the UK a good price???

Heard nothing but good words about OME too though.

Depends where you look. If money isn't an object, I'd personally go with the Rancho's.
