First off, whoa, wtf happened to the forums?? Haven't been on here since last may (busy busy busy)....come back to see almost everything is gone
Secondly, my post. I don't want to hear things like "get the skyjacker nitro's or procomp es 3000"....those shocks blow, and I don't want them nor am I interested in how "they ride so great"
I'm looking to buy shocks for my truck.....it's become a daily driver more than anything, but does see the occasional two track as well as the occasional high speed jaunt at the sand dunes.
Right now on my truck I'm running the skyjacker nitro's - two in the rear, four in the front. Simply put, they suck ass. They ride like crap on the highway, and do a poor dampening job in the dunes (and fade fast at that). I'm looking for some input on shock recommendations.....looking to spend no more than 120ish per shock.....I'd love to have some bilstein 7100's, but can't afford the 250/shock price tag......
I'm thinking about the bilstein 5150's, but have also wondered about the "skyjacker platinum" shock (marketing or are they really better than their lower grade shocks in anything other than looks?).....although I don't care for rancho or procomp, does anyone have experience with their premium shocks??
Thanks for the input.....and if you read this junkie, good job on saving some good info from the old forums
