Well, I have not even hit 50k miles yet, and the stock Bilsteins on my Z71 are leaking fluid and I am bouncin down the highway. I am going to replace them, but want a heavier duty offroad shock.
I seek your opinions and reasons for a after market brand.
(y)Tell me who I should go with, and why you love them.

Thanks for your help!
 
Update!

I called up a local 4x4 shop here, who has a good reputation, and they suggested the Pro Comp MX-6 gas over the Rancho hydrolics, since the Av is heavier and does not have leaf springs like the pick-ups. They put them on in an hour this morning, and the Av drives better than it did new.

Thought I would pass on the info. (y)
 
Been a long time Ahhnuld!! Glad to see you're still around! Thanks for the info on the shocks...I was thinking of going with Pro Comp's with the external reservoir. Glad to hear you like them.

P.S. Bought me a HK .40...hadn't had a chance to try her out yet though. Looking forward to it.
 
Hey Beast,
Yeh, I am still around. My Av just turned over 50k miles now.
You will enjoy the H&K, I also picked up a Tactical USP .45. Man it is sweeeet. I did not need it, but could not pass up on the deal. :)

Take care!
