Skyjacker Shocks

So I put a 2" lift on the truck about a year ago and already replaced , for free (under warranty), one of the rear shocks. It seems that the front shocks are now leaking as well. I have had some bad luck with shocks before but never a complete set in short of a year. Anyone else experience this with Skyjacker products?

I would like to go to a 6" lift with 36" tires in the future, which will mean another new set of shocks, and when that happens I be going with some Billsteins but none of it is in the budget right now. I just want a shock that lasts longer than a year.

ivebeen having the same problems with the ranchos, the newer shafts are nitride and since the change, failure comes quick, the bilsteins ive installed ride nice and seem dependable, I haven't heard any complaints on the 4" diesel kits, just recommendation, I used a 1 ton chevy dually rear pair the make a front build, pick a part springs, I went 10 leaf with tighter graduations, new center bolts and straps, and 10 years later holding and riding very well.
