Hi Guys,
Looking at Rancho shocks and Pro comps. Currently have OME Nitrochargers which are bloody stiff. Other mates run konis which i have had under other 4wds, but expensive. Ranchos have failed on some mates cars on our
Simpson desert trip so i am a bit wary. Some say procomps ride great, although i believe they are still gas, which in my experience are still too stiff. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Red Rover

Ranchos died on my GQ too. Less than 6 mths, and a few trips bush, very unimpressed. Incab compressor fell apart too.
Good on smaller cars, but wouldnt say they are the best for GQ's.
Konis may cost more, but theres a reason, they are the best. And rebuildable... Who cares if they cost a bit more, its not as though you have to buy them every year, and why not have the best?
YMMV.

I have long travel Foam Cell shocks from Ironman on my Hi-lux, I chose foam cell because they are different technology than gas shocks, Ironman said they have 41mm piston
bore and low pressure cellular bag instead of high pressure gas, I think they work really good, paid $150 per shock about 1 year ago. Does anyone else run these shocks and how have you found them?
