You can always fit lower drop brackets as i have done with my scorpion racing springs

Doesn't change the damping rate and if not done properly can lead to premature failure of the shock (another reason pro-comps fail is because they don't take well to being used as a bump stop).
If the springs are a standard length, then the LR shock itself isn't too bad, and it'll cope with stiffer springs quiet well.
As for after-market shocks, I think OME are probably the best. I have De-Carbons on mine, but they were pre-Delphi units and have proved more reliable than a lot of the later ones!

If you dont have short arms and deep pockets I would go for OME, as I said above I will move to these once the rough country have had their day, I already use OME springs in the Devon 4x4 guise.
At the end of the day, it all depends on what you want to do.

I've got a 110, fitted 2"lift with bearmach springs and have pro comp shocks on - it is unstable as it bounces around like onow.
Suspect it's the procomp shocks.
Looking around for some different ones but go to save!
Even my club say I bounce too much when greenlaning as well.
Any one know a 2" lift 110 make of shock?

I have a lifted 110 hardtop, used to run yellow springs :| and pro comps and the ride was fairly scary on road :D
Just fitted Bearmach CSW springs which are a lot softer than the HD yellow ones.. and Tuffback shocks.
The ride is softer but a lot more progressive. I brake in a straight line now ;) and I get a lot more flex in the axles off road.
Dunno if that'll help but that's what I did.

dont go for Procomp - as has been said on here there is much evidence of them breaking - yes they have a good warranty and its just as well as there is a chance that you will need it.
Ive got OME, which I find to be good - they are to Devon4x4 spec along with the springs so they are a little dearer.
I had Bilsteins before that and found them to be ok too. I think you can get them from Paddocks.
