Default What kinda shocks do you guys recommend????

I was looking at getting new shocks and don't know what kind to get.
Hydraulic or Nitrogen Charged?

Ones I am looking at...

ZONE OFFROAD Hydraulic
ZONE OFFROAD Nitro
SKY-JACKER Hydraulic
Rough Country 2.2
Rough Country Hydraulic
Rough Country Nitro

What ones do you guys think is the best?

Any one running the RC 2.2?

For shocks, Bilstein, Old Man Emu, and TeraFlex are good choices. Rarely see a negative comment on any of these.

Really depends on your off roading or ride quality your looking for. Hydros are good for mild and moderate offroading and nitro are awesome for rock crawling and extreme offroading. But, if you have the money and want great ride quality all the way around on and off the road, go with the nitro's! Hope this helps! Good luck.

What's wrong with Procomp? I'm running all ES9000's on my JK. They are a bit stiff, If I knew any better I would have gone with something a bit lighter like ES3000's. I like them though.
