Default Pro Comp ES9000 shocks

I am about to buy all new shocks and some other parts. I wanted some better than stock, but not hard offroad, and it looks like these have good specs but I cannot find any recent reviews. This is not going to be an offroader but mostly a daily and occasional hunting/camping rig. My other thought was going Monroe, Gabriel or Bilstien factory drop ins.

Any idea on their quality?

Thanks

My guess is they are good. Pro Comp makes quality offroad products. For daily driver it is defiantly not needed, but it states good for highway. And Summit has them for $39 each, not bad. But they might be stiffer then stock. For me I like stiffer shocks, they can handle more. And its a truck not a Cadillac.

About what I figured. Ordering them tomorrow. Will be nice to have new shocks and a tight idler arm. no more floating and drifting.

Thanks.

Summit really needs a comments section for products.

also price compare with 4wheelparts.com they usually have free shipping. i paid $160 for set of 4 with 3.5" lift on my Jeep. Now I've been told to use hydro on the leafs and gas on coils. you may wanna ask on that.

I had already ordered them when I saw your link to 4wheelparts.com. Four shocks and a Moog idler arm.

Got a decent stereo and front speakers for it today as the last factory speaker finally blew. Rear speakers to come. Small cabins are nice, don't have to go big for stereos to make it sound nice.

Got them in today. Popped them open to make sure all was good. Guess I got into a hurry when ordering because I had the correct rear shocks and a set of 2wd rear shocks also. No front shocks. Back they go.
