Heckethorn 8000's are really great for the money.

i've got some BDS front shock (33" extended) they seem pretty stiff........cost @50 a pair,
and i'm using some late model factory ford F350 (or 250 can't remember) for the rear (they are @ 31" extended) i got them used with about 3000 miles on them, free

DoetschTech. Summit Racing. soft 3000 series for like 28 a piece.
slightly firmer 8000 series 35 a piece. great shock cheap price. you can go to their website to check out sizes and other stuff they got Doetsch Tech Shocks Looks like they just came out with a new multi valve shock now too. I think they are the best bang for the buck myself.

that's what i run... you can also ask for the "eliminator" if they are out of stock. They are the same shock.

I was just about to ask about those, those elmitor's thingy were re banged shocks, with 4WPW name on them, they were softer then baby poo

Most vendors valve shocks differently for different applications. Realize that a RS9000 for a Chevy full size is going to boing differently than a RS9000 for a Toyota mini-truck, even if the mounting eyes/pins and/or length are different or the same.

Comparing shocks valved differently is an apples/oranges comparison -- going cross-brand makes it full-on fruit salad. You have to hold ONE of these variables constant to have a meaningful comparison, IMHO.

Doestech DT3000's are like $32/ea
Rancho RS5000's $35/ea
Skyjacker Hydros $35/ea
Trailmaster SSV $40/ea
AutoZone Gabriel Gas Ryders $20/ea (OK, maybe not)

Just get the specs (compressed/extended lengths and mounting style) from their web sites as to which model # you need. After converting all the mounts on my XJ, I don't even know what these shocks are supposed to be used for.
