They are suitable for spare parts

Ride as good as the factory shocks included in the Adventure Pack. I was expecting a stiffer ride, but those are good dampers anyway.

Pros
  • Sequins
Cons
  • The list is long.

Daily and off-road they do everything

They competed with the Bilstein update on all four corners of my H3. Increased travel with torsion bar adjustment, axle alignment, faster turn-in, drastically reduced washboard runout, improved control. Installs in fifteen minutes.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • old

As they say, good!

My truck is like another truck. It's much more stable. My truck felt like it was leaning around those corners on the HWY, and now my truck feels like it's actually leaning in. Bilstein really are as good as they say. I didn't want to take anything else and think how much better Bilstein would be.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Damaged

They fit but I'm not sure they're ready to go.

After four months in Bach, mainly off-road, my skyjackers gave up. I decided to try these as they are gas and the jacks are hydro. I installed them on a Savana AWD 2500 that raised the body about 3-4 inches (1 inch), upgraded the rear panels and adjusted the torsion bars. They fit but I'm not sure they will do the job. I see a lot of travel in the corners, next time I'll try a different brand.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Too matt
