Default Shocks

Im in the market for new shocks on my D1, May end up going with a 2" lift while i have it all apart. What are everyones views on ProComp shocks? Does Skyjacker have an application for D1 Rovers?

I have the ProComp ES9000 on mine, they work fine but I dont think they are heavy enough for the weight of the vehicle

They are truely one of the worst shocks when it comes to a good ride on the road and control off the road.
Go to Lucky 8 and or talk to Justin about Old Man Emu suspensions, especially about the new 3 valve OME Sport shock. These are far better then most because of the size and extra valve and will work well up to a 3" lift.

They haven't been out long enough to prove themselves.
Go with the OME shock, either the H.D.'s or the new Sport shock.
