who has what shocker

[Puma]

Well just done a check with 4by on hoist, and discovered that when the diff rolled it dented both shockers, these have lasted 13+ years, and would of done many more if the diff hadn't had rolled.
So now looking at new shockers, who recommends makes or ones to stay away from. I will be using foam filled. The last ones were from 4wd systems, no name brand from Mexico.
Any help appreciated
cheers Dave

I can recommend to avoid the TJM versions. After 2 years, the bushes worn out on the lower connecting joint (sorry for the non-technical terms). But with the TJM versions, you can't replace these bushes like with most other brands, so new shocks were needed. And they were just under 24 months old.

I have ARB OME sport shocks. They did fine on the cape and can handle the mighty power of the 1HD-T! I haven't really used any other though.

Dave has now put in Arb OME sports shocks and extended brake lines, will be extending the sway bar links next when they arrive, his others looked like a banana when removed. He's pretty happy with it. On my pet hate that is bleeding the brakes HATE HATE HATE. Thanks for peoples help!

OME have a new shock out atm. its got a remote reseviour, good for constant thrashing.
i would avoid tjm AT ALL COSTS!

if you have the money, try out fox or kings.

im running ome and toughdog. i liked the comfit that ome gave. but i like the HEAVY DUTYNESS that toughdog ralph shock give.

you are driving thru the dessert in 8 weeks, i suggest you dont buy any cheap stuff that wont last.
