Off road 4X4 shock recommendations?
I know quite a few of you are into Landies and other 4X4s so here we go.
A pal of mine with a Jeep Wrangler has asked me to find him a set of good quality shocks. Now 4X4 stuff is something I am not at all familiar with and
there seem to be heaps of different makes costing from next to nothing up to eye watering level.
I'm OK with stuff from the states if needs be or if there are some good European manufacturers that would be fine too. So what's good and
what's to avoid?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

I'm guessing this is lifted. He has given me open lengths of 740mm  Which seems huuuuge to me... And 180mm of stroke.

Rancho's

I've got Terrafirma fitted to mine.
I like them
I used to use Procomp shocks but the chroming
on their rods is rubbish now - they rust far too easily.

Hi
As you can imagine i get 3-4 calls a week from people looking for Procomp 4x4 dampers Etc. Virtually all those calls are from people with issues
regarding them leaking.
I had FOX on my old Comp safari Niva Never a problem with them. 
Cheers Matt

Sorry Matt
I should have clarified with my comment about Procomp shocks
that they're nothing to do with the gear you supply.
