hey guys,
i would just like to know what would be the cheapest shock with the most travel and around a 2.0'' body. I have looked at a company in the USA called F.O.A shocks and they are faily cheap like $150 ea for a 14'' travel 2'' body emulsion shock.
thanks

I've found Pedders shocks resonable for price and reliability. Had a set
of foam cells for 3 years until I sold the ute and still were going strong even with the treatment I gave them.

No doudt get bagged here but I have done probably 8 4by's and allways used Rancho 5012's or 9012's The 5012's you can get for $125-130 each. I have never had a problem with these shocks.

It's not cool to like Rancho's on Outers lol....
My 9012's in the rear of the 4Runner are on their second 4WD, about 4-5 years old. They still adjust fine, too stiff on hardest setting, too spongey on soft. Would buy again for sure.
Have recently put the middle range EFS shocks in the front, they are pretty impressive for the $. Made the runner turn in so much better, though it did have faded Monroes in the front.
