Look at the Tokico designed for Trooper. I recently had a ride on friends VX with Tokico and the ride was cool for their price (I believe it was something like $40/shock or even less). They are soft enough when offroading and friend told me that they are hard enough on the road. I have Kayaba Monomax ($50/shock), but I suspect the rear ones dead already, though I replaced them about half year ago. If so, I'd go with comfort series of OME: yellow truck should have yellow shocks

). Actually I trust to OME's name

VehiGaz,
Well i decide to change just a front ones because my back ones still in good shape and they original so im gonan keep them till one of them blows or something. So i was looking at Bilsteins B46 series at summitracing and thats what i found http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...+115&y=15&x=20 which ones should i pick for front?

OK, that link didn't work, try a forums search using "shocks" until you find this thread on page four : The one-stop SHOCK ABSORBER Info Thread

did anyone order from this site http://www.autocarparts.com/part/819/3568/
and it is sounds right 23 dollars for shipping of 2 shocks?

LDub, thanks i found it

**VehiGAZ** · 05/04/2007, 01:25 PM

DJ, Uncle Asa has the right part numbers. I have the stiffer H1's in front, and I think they could be a tad softer, but I can't say for sure.

$23 for shipping is probably right, since they are probably about 10 lbs each!

Good luck!!

**djkymar** · 05/04/2007, 08:20 PM

interesting when im trying to order those shocks from that site http://www.autocarparts.com/part/819/3568/ they telling me that they are wont fit with VX, i just dont wanna order wrong thing and send it back and pay restocking fee. Could it be their mistake? cuz the part number is right but they saying no.
P.S is there any other good places where i can get 2 front shocks not a set?
Thanks

**VehiGAZ** · 05/07/2007, 07:48 AM

DJ, the place I got mine from (www.shox.com) will sell them individually or in pairs if you call them, which you will have to do anyway if you want the stiffer H1 shocks (since the default selection for a Trooper is the H2). Good luck!

Gas,
thanks for help im getting those this week, ill post it when im done with install. Thanks again

**djkymar** · 05/17/2007, 06:59 PM

i called and visit 6 different places past week and none of them have those shocks in stock, they all back order and they will be at the store in middle of june so i think im probly going to wait till they get there. The store that GAZ told me put me in a waiting list so they gonan call me as soon as they comes. Im just wondering why nobody has them are they that good?

Thought I would contribute...
www.samsoffroad.com
349$ shipped new RS9000xl adjusted rebound circuit. Gas charged. So far I am satisfied. Install wasnt so hard.

**AndyC** · 07/31/2007, 01:13 PM

That's where I purchased mine and go them on a special. Just keep in mind that the Rancho 9000 are not gas charged they are hydraulic shocks. so they don't expand out

I never installed a set of them before - just gas charged ones. When I opened the first one I thought it had leaked

After opening all 4, I figured they all couldn't be bad

I'm real happy with them.

The RS9000Xl's are gas charged... Cannot be mounted in one up down position, and they do expand out.

You can confirm this with Rancho.
