Henry ...dont put any of the others up there with Ohlins....they are in a different league(both performance and financialy!)

On the contrary I would rate a number of those manufacturers alongside Ohlins.  'Ohlins' are excellent, but not necessarily the shock of choice for WRC or Dakar competitors these days.  'Reiger' are fearsomely expensive but incredibly proficient and are the choice of many in both WRC and off road competitions.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the US have got a lot to teach the europeans about damper design especially in the off road world - look at their big Pro-Trucks and their bypass shocks.  Here currently 'King' are in vogue and the Nissan Dakar team also used these.

In the UK I would thoroughly recommend Trevor Milner for advice on top quality shocks.  His own manufacture 'Vari-damps' are particularly impressive, but he and his team have a wealth of knowledge (and stock)in setting up Fox shocks too.

If I can scrape together the money - I might have a go with some MX6-R's or some Milner shocks.  But in the meantime my ES9000's do a superb job soaking up the abuse I throw at them!

--- Quote from: "davidlandy" ---I have seen and heard of procomps and decarbon breaking - so for quality its OME for me - and I would also say bilsteins if they did (??) a longer shock suitable for a 2"+ lift.

I've got Bilstein's and my lift is a little over 2"

I too had a set of bilsteins and they were great and i had a 2 " lift , but the travel of the shock wasnt long enough which means that I wasnt getting the axle travel - also it could damage the shock

PUX:
