Okay after a long and tedious research I've boiled my selection down to three shocks:
RE Monotube
Old Man Emu
Bilstein

So which to choose for comfort. I ride unmaintained gravel roads, over mountains, atv trails, tundra etc.

Thoughts and experiance please.

I have RE mono's, they're OK but starting to get worn out after 3 years of abuse. I researched OME's because everybody that runs their stuff seems to love it. I found that OME's have 3" less travel front and 2" less in the rear compared to my RE's for my RE 4.5" SF lift. I decided I didn't want to lose that much travel. For stock or near stock the OME's would probably be best, for lifted and modded I'd go with the Bilstein, that's what I'll be getting next.

Let us know your setup, makes it easier to answer questions.

HTH,

Thanks for the input. Here's my set-up:


I just love to go where no man has gone before
Rock climbing, in marshes, atv trails, mud, tundra etc.
