O am getting the 15" travel shocks and there is only a $2 difference, which one is the best shock that will give me the best on/off road permormance?? The es9000 are nitrogen charged.
Thanks

get the 9000s if there is only a $2 difference

Where are you getting them from?

Neither. I don't know why you'd spend real cash on a twin tube shock.

Bilsteins.

why spend $80 per shock when I can get great performanece out of a 15" travel es9000 for $30??

get the 9K, I have the 3K's and wish i had. It is a better shock. Hell it's only a couple of bucks! /forums/images/graemlins/pimp1.gif

Why spend $30 for a twin tube shock when you can buy the same thing in a Gabrial for $15?

No question monotubes are far superior in design. Bilstein is NOT just a brand name.

In short you paid twice what I paid for my shocks, but at least I knew I was getting crappy shocks. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

do they have the gabriels with 15" of travel??

 

[85mudblazin]

I dont think soooooooooo

 

[84_Chevy_K10]

12.53"

Doubtful you can use more than that unless you have something besides lift springs in the front of your rig.

EDIT:

Doubtful you can even use half that with 600 lb/in springs up front (rough country)
