ProComp Shocks
boss:
i have the +6 rough country shocks, i have met david at llama 4x4 and he says that they are effectiveley a mk2 procomp. there spacifically vaulved for landrovers unlike procomps which are a generic vaulving.
and yes those big red rubber boots they give you with them are hidious!

If it's an off-roader then there are 2 options for the rubber bushes. If you still have the retaining caps welded on then the bushes will work convex side in, ie the other way round. This is how I fit them and it gives a suppleness to them that you need for articulation. Alternatively you can chisel the welded on cup away (some of you may find it's already been done) and use the washer concave side in as above, the washer helps retain the rubber but it will creep and end up much flatter. I've had to retighten mine before now.
I ended up changing the bushes around on the LSE from the conxex side to the concave side with the welded on cup to give me a stiffer shock. Much stiffer, you feel every pebble on the road.
I've recently changed to Brtipart Cellular Dynamics, they come the same length as ProComp plus 1" which is perfect for my EAS and the rubbers are yellow poly as standard. The washers are flat, which is what the ProComp could do with.

As an answer on the pro comp shocks, one of mine snapped off completely at the bottom, I got it replaced FOC. no problem, the old one had 2 small tack welds holding the threaded bar into the shock, the new one has a beefy weld all the way round, they must get this problem a lot!!

:D
One of my Pro-Comp rear shocks snapped on the weld too, phoned Paddocks and they replaced no questions asked.

If Procomp didn't have such a good replacement policy, how long do you thing they would last before people stopped buying them?
