anyone got any feed back on them?:exporange
 






super stiff.......but,

they will keep the tires on the ground.

I went with a hydro filled shock, as my trucks suspension
is already stiff as ****....its all preference brother.

if you have a worn stock susp....???? these shocks will work well.

if youre all beefed up, TT, AAL. ect.....go with hydro

:salute:
 






I don't have experience with that particular shock, however I've found most brands like Rough Country (along with Skyjacker, Superlift, and others) are pretty generic (the shock isn't actually made by Rough Country, but by another manufacturer to their specs). Being nitrogen-pressurized, they should provide decent control over washboarded roads.

Spending a little more on shocks like Fox or Bilstein generally will give you far better ride quality however (tighter, more controlled, less jarring). I'd go with Bilstein 5100s if the suspension is otherwise stock (not lifted, etc.).
 






FYI unless you get exact replacement Bilstien's you only get a 90DAY warranty, as I just found out with my 380 day old shocks , were both rear ones are leaking.
