My girlfriend got me 4 Skyjacker Nitro Shocks from Quadratec for Christmas. I guess based on my vehicle description and her budget, Customer Support recommended these shocks because they were "middle of the pack" as far as price. No experience with skyjacker, but alot of folks seem to bash it. Anyone with facts on why, rather than just "skyjscker sucks"?

 

I understand your concern, but isn't the question academic?

If your GF doesn't see the big white and red shocks mounted on your JK, what are you going to say?

I've probably seen the same bashing of Skyjacker products as you have. I have lived with one of their lift kits in the past. Their products aren't that bad, but they aren't that good either compared to others that are slightly more costly.
Sometimes they are the low cost alternative, other times they are the first to market with a certain product.

Skyjacker makes lift kits for so many vehicles that they manufacture their own shocks. If not, find out who does. It may be a major manufacturer like Monroe which may appease your mind.

 

sorry i know nothing about skyjacker, but dude, id be happy that my girl got me something for my jeep. you got a good woman.

 

Have you installed them? How do they ride?

 

ive run the hydros for over a year now with no problems.

 

Dude, even you got it good, my wife calls it "Barbie" because it has so many "Accessories".

 

Hahahaha

Good one!

 

I HAVE HAD NITRO'S ON MY JK SINCE IT WAS LIFTED AND THERE NOT THAT BAD FOR THE PRICE I AM SURE THAT SHOCKS THAT COST $150.00ea RIDE A LOT BETTER BUT IN THE MIDWEST THEY USE SALT SO I WILL STICK WITH SKYJACKER AND REPLACE THEM EVERY YEAR OR TWO..

 

Other than being on the stiff side. I haven't had any problems with these shocks.

 

I'd never heard that before
