Default Shocks, what brand do you have?

What kind of shocks do you have? I replaced mine a couple of years ago with Explorer Pro Comp ES9000's. They seem to be ok. Alot better than stock. I'm thinking of replacing them with something else but not sure what.

Thumbs up Just installed OLD MAN EMU SHOCKS.

I just installed OLD MAN EMU Shocks and Springs on my rig. They are only a week old so my recommendation is not tested but I like-'em. I chose to heavy duty OME springs in the front and rear and softer shocks in front and rear. It is supposed to balance out the ride???? I went HD because I tow a sandrail and I am planning on installing a ARB front bumper.

One other benefit from the new shocks is that they will give your Disco a 2" left. Not a big deal but enough to put larger tires on the rig. [ i.e.
265/75/16 BFG MT ]

Hope this helps. I am new to the site....just registered.

Arrow OME for sure...

We sell the entire OME line and are very happy with their product. If you are looking for extreme suspension we go with the N76 OME shocks and RoverTym springs plus all the other crap. If you looking for a simple 2 or 3" lift go with the OME setup all around. We have excellent pricing as well.

www.get-rhino.com let me know if I can help.

I have Blingensteins on my Disco with Rovertym springs. Love the springs, hate the shocks.

On one of the Rangies, I have Bearmach springs with OME long travel shocks-love the entire setup.

On the other Rangie, OME springs and no name shocks...

Prolly gonna use Fox on the hybrid.

I did not have the life-changing experience with the Blingensteins eveyrone ahd told me to expect, and have both bottomed them out and over-extended them (need new bumpstops and limiters?). The kid's Rangie is awesome with the OME shocks and Bearmach springs, but a little harsh ride.
