90 shocks
iomlr:
only one shock out there if you truely want a perfect ride, Old Man Emu every single time. why waste your money on pro comp or the likes when its been proven time after time again and again that old mans are the best? with the majority of the major 4x4 competitors using this product..... yes there expensive but you will only have to buy once, if you choose the other makes and you will have to buy again in a couple of years to replace your [!Expletive Deleted!] shocks!
Buy once buy right and save money in the long run....

I use Rough Country, great off road, but will move to OME when they go as on road I feel the dampening could be better.
clbarclay:
Free replacements are all very nice, but as a friend found in the middle of Wales, when the top eyes of both rear dampers* its a very long and very very bouncy drive home. IMHO for the money the rough country is a better damper, but are a little under damped on the road compared to all the uprated dampers availible (but nothiung like knackered procomps), particularly if you take the ramps where they have skimmed tarmac off the road a little to fast.
My rough country's seem to be holding up well, more of a problem than the damping I find are the plastic boots that cover the shafts (pro-comps are the same), there a mud trap and reduce travel (they concertina up into bumpstop) when fitted and the shafts do suffer from stone chips and scratches without them. The compromise i'm using is to only secure the boots at the top and trim them so the just cover the shafts on the road, loose the mud out the bottom off road and less of a bumpstop. Speaking with david from Llama they should be changing to steel sleeves like the standard LR dampers, but they don't appear to have changed yet.

Sell your scrap iron springs. I have OME +1" progresive springs and OME shocks on my 90. have been on since 2005 to go to Morroco, with Magiolina roof tent and all the camping gear, I also use my 90 for work towing a trailer loaded with 2 ton on it. I also green lane and pull my caravan. They are great for fast road work to. Make sure you tell your retailer what you require from your suspension. If you have gone for +2" springs make sure all your running gear is up to it, ujs ect. As the other guy said all the compertition trucks use them that must be testament to the quality!!
