I can tell you the shock in the Rough Country kit will be junk. You may want to call Paul Fox and inquire about the quality of his shock.

 

Have you used them before?

 

Any of the cheap white bodied shocks are normally the same exact shocks (just have different stickers) and most never hold up especially in a northern climate because of road salt. Not sure where you live. I can tell you that I have had the Rough Country single kit and it wore smack out in less than 6 months of use. It was completely useless. On the other hand, I have Defiant's dual Radflo kit with the differential guard and it is a VERY quality unit. It is a little pricier than the ones you listed though. From what I hear, the single Radflo shock from Defiant and the single Fox stabilizer from Thuren are both excellent. I know both guys do good work because I have parts on my truck from both of them.

 

im liking that defiant product... may have to order that. dang it! always something. im currently running a $30 monroe damper and it works for what it is. i may look into the defiant when i do my toyos.

 

Paul Fox has a new trick dual stabilizer coming out that will work with Mag-Hytek diff covers (he showed me the prototype pieces last week). He also has an uber-trick dual stabilizer with a diff guard, but it's a bit spendy. Both use Radflo shocks, IIRC. Give him a call, he's a great guy!

 

Yeah I am more looking to avoid the bit spendy part

 

ain't we all??

here's my thuren setup...
