Brandon 02-26-2002, 09:14 AM Looks like I could use some longer shocks than what I have on my jeep/toy thing Haven't bought shocks in ages, before I just go plop down $80 ea for 9012's anybody know where I can save some $$? DRM 02-26-2002, 09:30 AM ProComp's come in a 13" travel version - $30 each most places :) Brandon 02-26-2002, 09:33 AM how do they compare lengthwise to a 9012? I stole the shocks from my truck to put on the jeep, so I need to bolt on something to the truck where a 9012 was I'll go check the shock chart in the tech section right now :) someone got specs on those - price sounds right :)Rugged Trail-Nitro/60K 51000/61000 32.70 19.05 2.38 EB1 EB1 13.65 Skyjacker/Nitro N8077 34.00 20.27 2.00+ BP4 ES25 13.73 Skyjacker/Nitro N8078 34.00 20.27 2.00+ EB7 ES34 13.73 Skyjacker/Nitro N8079 34.00 20.27 2.00+ ES25 ES25 13.73 Skyjacker/Nitro N8068 34.00 20.27 2.00+ ES27 EB4 13.73 Warn/XT 788050 32.97 19.07 2.36 EB1 EB1 13.90 Rancho/9K RS9012 32.91 18.94 N/A EB1 EB1 13.97 Pro C/ES3K&9K 33200 32.83 18.82 2.36 EB1 EB1 14.01 Cepek 77/88012 32.95 18.92 2.00+ EB1 EB1 14.03 Rancho/5K RS5012 33.10 18.94 N/A EB1 EB1 14.16 Rancho/5K RS5134 33.10 18.94 N/A EB1 EB1 14.16 Warn/AT 788051 33.10 18.94 2.36 EB1 EB1 14.16 Duff 8120 35.50 20.50 N/A EB EB 15.00 Pro Comp looks close enough to work! Thanks! I wonder - are they softer or stiffer than a 5000 rancho? borton 02-26-2002, 09:44 AM get some bilstein's, talk to Bob Roggy on prices, 5100 series with up to 14" travel. Brandon 02-26-2002, 09:48 AM Originally posted by Brent Orton get some bilstein's, talk to Bob Roggy on prices, 5100 series with up to 14" travel. Gas shocks right? Hmm DRM 02-26-2002, 09:48 AM The ProComp ES3000's are supposed to be the same as RS5000's - but I thin kthe ProComps are softer... I can measure the ones I have tonight when I get home for an "Actual" travel measurement if you like.. woody 02-26-2002, 10:06 AM I just ordered Doetsch Tech DT-3000's thru Summit Racing for under $30 each delivered...and they make a 13.75"+ travel shock. Pretty soft valving. Only bad about ordering thru Summit is they don't stock em, so you wait a couple weeks. But the price is right!

I ran a set of those ont he front of my Toy for about a week - WAY too soft for my uses... IMHO - DT's work good with stiffer springs, but with soft springs the DT shocks are just WAY scary :eek: borton 02-26-2002, 10:08 AM Originally posted by Brandon Gas shocks right?

When I get new shocks, I will be replacing my 9000's with them. Brandon 02-26-2002, 10:26 AM will do, I am a cheap ass but gas shocks might help the thing look a little more level and would probably ride better MattS 02-26-2002, 10:28 AM I got mine from AOR 5100-Series, 14.3" travel 34.9" extended; 20.75 collapsed $69 :D Originally posted by Brent Orton get some bilstein's, talk to Bob Roggy on prices, 5100 series with up to 14" travel. Brandon 02-26-2002, 10:30 AM what did ya have before, could ya tell the difference - $69 is good but $30 is better but then again apples n oranges.. MattS 02-26-2002, 10:33 AM My junk is still in the garage. :( The shocks are on though!! :D Brandon 02-26-2002, 10:35 AM Originally posted by MattS My junk is still in the garage. :( The shocks are on though!! :D Mine too he he (well not the shock part) BlueJeep 02-26-2002, 12:42 PM I love my Doetsch Tech 3000 shocks from summit. They were around $30 each and work great. I've had them for five years (2 sets) and run them with Skyjacker 2" springs. They ride great, work great, and are cheap. RHINO 02-26-2002, 02:47 PM i just bought a set of DT's, 36" extended for $30 ea. at my local 4x shop, yes there soft i like it that way, but for $3 more you could get DT pre runners which are stiffer and still 36" extended length. Yuracrack 02-26-2002, 08:05 PM try hotrod-offroad.com for cheap 9000s. they're listing all 9000s for $59 ea on special. just bought four myself. morpheus 02-27-2002, 07:46 AM Originally posted by RHINO i just bought a set of DT's, 36" extended for $30 ea. at my local 4x shop, yes there soft i like it that way, but for $3 more you could get DT pre runners which are stiffer and still 36" extended length. what 4x shop can i get the pre-runners from for $33 each ? - jack morpheus 02-27-2002, 09:20 AM Originally posted by Lance talk to Bob about the Bilsteins.

They're not in the catalog but if you ask they'll drop ship them. Only took a few days. My brother got a set the same way just a few weeks ago.
