Shocks !!!!!
Hey guys.. I know this has been covered before ! BUT !!! I have a 4 inch lift in with 315's on my truck ! I have ProComp shocks in there right now that are not even a year old and they are TOAST !
Are Bilstiens the way to go for a lifted truck that gets USED ! I mean USED off road a lot ! I'm driving gravel roads and old ranch roads a lot of the year for work ! Or is there some other brand that will be tougher and hold up better ??? I'm looking at putting duals in the front end !
Thanks for the input !

Russ,
I have Rancho RSX's and I like them alot, except that they look like crap after about 2 months
...they start rusting as soon as you put them on the truck. Bilsteins are good also, and KYB also has a nice shock, spendy though.

I hear that the Bilsteins are a great ride... But I need TOUGH ! lol ! I think they will hold up.. Highoctane (ryan) has a set on his that are leaking a bit and that has me worried a bit ! My truck takes quite a bit more abuse than his does during the course of a year ! He'll attest to that ! He's been in mine quite a bit in the backcountry

Thats kinda what I'm looking at right now.. MX6 with res ! Duals in the front and singles in the back ! Can you get back shock with the res attached that will fit back there without hitting on anything ????
