Hi guys I'm in need of some new shocks on my 2008 Mega cab 6.7L. I've been looking at either Pro-Comp ES9000, skyjacker nitro 8000 or Rancho RS7044. Who has used any of these shocks and which would be better on these trucks?
I'm open to other brands as well.

Thank you JR

 

Bilstein 5100...DONE!

 

My supplier doesn't carry bilstein, he said skyjacker nitro8000 are perfect for my rig. Anyone use these shocks?

 

Bilstein is the best shock you can put on your truck.

 

Bilstein as well !!

 

Bilstein 5100s for a sure thing.

But I'm tempted to try Thuren Overlands next out of curiosity.

 

I'm running the NAPA Reflex shocks by Monroe. They are a Bilstein wannabee. They work great for my application and are very reasonable on price.

 

Bilstein 5100…just about every other shock else that fits a stock height, unmodified suspension truck is in fact a "wannabe" 5100. Now if you are talking about serious suspension upgrades for serious money, you CAN do a lot better then the 5100.

 

I'm going to try the skyjackers nitro 8000, wish I had the spare funds and time to get the bilstein's. let you know if they work well or not.

 

Do they make a bilstein 5100 for leveled trucks?

 

I'm running the KYB Monomax and hate them with a passion. Wish I would have stayed stock or bought the bilstiens.

I have the monroe reflex on my Jeep- not great, but decent for the price.

I'd steer clear of the Rancho's. I used to always run Rancho shocks, they used to be awesome. The last set I bought was in 2011 and ran them for 2 years on the jeep before they died (after a whopping 15k miles). Whatever factory is now making the Rancho's is terrible on quality. I'd rather pay more for OEM- they last longer.

 

Yes, that is what I'm running.

 

I'm running them as well.

 

I put the Nitro 8000 on and truck seems to ride stiff but the old shocks were totally gone. I don't mind the stiff ride as my last truck 2008 F250sd 6.4 diesel what a gush wagon, felt like driving a couch.
