Pro Comp Shocks

I'm looking at getting some new front shocks. I've found these Pro Comp ES9000's that I'm kind of leaning towards. Right now I can only do the front until I save up some more and these fit into my budget. Has anyone ever used these or currently have them? What are your thoughts?

i have the es9000 shocks and for the price they are awesome! ive had them for almost a year and so far none of them have blown or leaked, i think they come with a lifetime warranty from 4wheelparts... i think i dont remember.

oh and an FYI, the front shocks may rub on the bumpstop, at least they did on my 4runner. if they do just grind off a little so it doesnt damage the body of the shock.

I have Rancho 5000s on the back right now, which were on when I bought the truck. The front are still original as far as I can tell so I imagine anything will be a major improvement. Thanks for the input guys and 70elcoss, thanks for the tip. I'll have to remember that.

Yea, yea I know. I did look up reviews and did read alot of them but I wanted to get opinions from Yotatech guys rather than some guy who put them on his f-250.

Decided that I'll go with them anyways. Get them ordered up this week from 4wheelparts.

I'm loving them. I can't wait to get them on the back now. They are a little stiff but you get use to it. Haven't had the chance to take it up in the hills yet though.

Thanks for the reply! I ended up ordering ES3000s because 4wheelparts didn't have the es9000s in stock, so i figured i'd get the 3000's since i'm on the road most of the time anyway and they are supposted to be a little softer on road.
