I'm sure people have their own favorites when it comes to shocks. I want something adjustable--I'm somewhat new to this and am looking for options based on user experience/testing. Right now I have some sort of ProComps and they ride very harsh. Thanks.

Would be nice to have a hint as to what you will install new shocks on... AND how and where you intend to drive the whatever it is.. Big Jim <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Oops...'98 Cherokee with 3.5 lift by Rubicon Express ; to be driven on mild to moderate trails--more rock than tree roots--20%....and dirt road driving with long sections of washboard--30%. Also highway driving--50%like up and over Vail pass....I drive like a granny no matter where I'm going.
Thanks.

Try a set of Rancho 7000 adjustable shocks. If you're lazy, you can get from them a little air compressor and a set of gauges for the cockpit, and you can adjust them from the driver's seat!

Fixed it for ya Bob. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> And Rancho also makes an in cab control system for those shocks for only $150 through Quadratec....could be a little cheaper else where. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
Gun it and run it!

Better yet has anyone tried out the Rocky-Road Hydro 8000? They make some bold claims about being the "only one's" who set up their shocks for jeeps and not for a broad range of weights like some others. The Rancho's only seem to be adjustable from HARD to EXTREMELY HARD and then the knob brakes off. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
