My truck is in pretty serious need of new shocks, as a couple have holes in them and I need to replace the front anyway because I levelled it. The two I have been looking at are the shocks by James Duff, or the Nitro shocks by Skyjacker.
What I like about the JD are they are a little cheaper, and have 70/30 valving. They also seem to be built with a little thicker materials than others? Not sure about that though, I cannot find a lot of dimension specs on other shock brands.
The Skyjackers are a little more money, but are gas filled where I think the JD's are liquid filled (Also not sure about this). I would buy them from here though, so it would support the site, plus I think red is a cooler colour.
Im sure they are both good shocks for the money, and are both from very experienced and reputable companies. Anybody have any experience with one or the other?
