Best standard front shockies?

AlexD333 · 09-07-2014, 13:26

Howdy all, so whats everyone got? at the moment im on standard shocks, infact its all ive ever known on all of my vehicles.

Ive just managed to get some rough country rear shocks +2" and now im looking for some good fronts, just to give it that nice new feeling and to match the almost new rear shocks in terms of performance and wear.

So what is everyone running? standard?

How about a set of rough country shocks for the front

then they'll all act the same

Im running Pedders standard height on the rear and original shocks front until funds allow me to fit the same as rear

Well, this was my first idea, but as most of the guys have pointed out i don't need the +2 shockies for the front I'm open to any standard shocks I can get my hands on.

So basically I'm trying to weight up quality with price

You won't get good gas shocks cheap

i'm sure rough country do standard length shocks for the front of a T2 the other make that gets good reviews is pro comp

Right, I'll keep my eyes peeled then

Pro comp from jimny bits are about 40 quid a shock.
They do the es3000 and es9000 to fit the terrano

The 9000 have a bigger diameter body and are a tight fit on the rear but they clear everything when fitted.

So I can just buy a pair of es9000 for the front?

Yes the 9000 is a gas shock the 3000 isn't. And you can go +2" for roughly the same price.

both are gas shocks but the 9000 is nitrogen charged and a heavier duty shock.
