Here's the deal... I am lifting my 2000 Excursion using Pro Comp's 22210 / 22415 springs with 315/75/16 tires and was looking at different shocks. Does anyone have any FIRST HAND knowledge/experience with the Pro Comp ES1000 shocks with this method lift? Any reasons NOT to use these? I used the search function and didn't come up with what I was looking for. Be Blessed!

 

The only reason not to is what you're finding... no info. No bueno!

Ask about Bilstein 5100. Everyone's happy. Rancho 9000. Most happy.

Go with a proven, performing, lasting product for your money, in my opinion!

 

i have same springs an am looking for longer shocks to go with them also, let me know what you find.

Pro Comp 132000 ES1000 Series Shock with Black Boot


this is what 4 wheel parts says fits with 4 inch lift

 

Good point.
Both of those are a little more than I initially wanted to spend. Hoping to find something a little less with not too much compromise on the prod.

 

I've had both and agree with Walt on his assessment.

My .02
5100's are perfect for our rigs.
9000's are pretty good for our rigs.

 

i had the rancho 5000 before and blistens and i can tell you i couldnt tell the difference. i know one thing i dont want an adjustable shock

 

Bilstein 5100's? Or the yellow ones? There's a huge difference in my opinion....

 

whats the part numbers for the blisten 5100s for a 4 inch lifted excursion?

the blistens i had was stock on the chevy i swapped them out for rancho 5000 and didnt notice a change.

 

I understand on the money end, but I just hate buying something and then having to buy one again, too soon! I'm just afraid of a $35 dollar shock, even if it was on my wifes 3000lb highway car...
Anyway good luck, report back! I've been wrong before...

 

5100 make me nervios after reading this on fte!

This guy has THE best prices, and good service.

 

The es1000 is valved to replicate the OEM shocks ride quality. so it is going to be on the lighter side, It is a good twin tube replacement shock that is popular more for its cost then performance. Quality wise they are as good as any other twin tube shock you are going to find. Oh and yes I have owned them in the past.

 

imay try out the procomps because im cheap

 

If you wanted to go with a mono tube shock that is valved a bit stiffer then stock consider the KYB monomax. About $55 ea.
