ES3000 or ES9000`s ??

[v8 jeep]

I have been looking at some shocks so i can fit my 3" lift springs. There is 2 diffrent types, Im not sure which one would be better suited for me. My springs ive been told are a 3" lift i want to put some coil spacers on my springs and i use it mainly for the road and do some towing up and down the country every now and then, But i do like to go and play when im in the mood for it. Normally the day after i have washed it.
So what would anyone recomend for me !! ES3000 or the ES9000.
Cheers adam.

What is the differnce with the 2 ?? Are the 3000s got soft hard setting or are they just a little harder. Are the 9000s a softer ride ??

i think the 3000's are between the hard /soft setting of the standard shocks and the 9000's are a bit harder but i find the ride ok with the 3000's and l/c springs plus no arb's on mine either

Just read that thread surfenstein thanks for that!!
Im unsure with the springs, I normaly run soft around town and messing about and change to hard on a long motorway run or towing and whilest trying to p155 some tool off on roundabouts that wants to be one place infront of me.

well im running 9000s all round l/c springs and no arbs,the ride was good and solid,but now ive changed the tyres and gone bigger they seem to dampen the ride even more.

What size tyres are you now running ? I am thinking of going to 32" from standard when these tyres are worn. they will look nearly as mean as 33"s but not as bad on gearing/fuel etc.
