Toyota newbie with shock replacement questions
 

Hey all, I just bought 89 Toyota Pickup & need to replace the shocks, there are a few i am considering & i wanted to get some opinions on them. The ones i am looking at are, Monroe Reflex, Rancho RS5000, Rancho RSX, Edelbrock Performer IAS, Old Man Emu, Gabriel Max Control, SkyJacker Nitro 8000, & ProComp ES9000. I will be replacing all four & would like a set that will give me a good solid ride & control but not be overly harsh. The truck has a 2.4L FI engine & 5-speed tranny, stock suspension with a 2-3 body lift & 31x10.5 tires on it. It will be used mostly on-road but may be taken for some light off-roading down at times. Thanks.

I have the ProComp ES3000's, they ride OK, but seem a little short - they limit the suspension travel.

I would stay away from Skyjacker shocks - I haven't heard of a single person that didn't have bad luck with them.

You need some Bilsteins on your list...

I have skyjacker nitros and really like them. If I had the money then I would have gone with OME. Everyone who runs then loves them.

i like my bilstiens

My RS5000 Rancho rears are holdin' up nicely. Beat the hell out of em, every chance I get. No fading, or problems of any sort.

Rancho RS5000 are good for the money

After 6 years my Ranchos were shot and thats with very little off-roading.

Thanks for the replies, how do the Bilstiens & the Rancho RS5000's ride on-road?
