Pro comp vs tough dog

Hey guys
I've recently fitted 5 inch adj. Tough dogs in my GQ patrol, but am wanting to go a bit taller shocks to get more flex. Can't say I can fault the shocks so far just want longer ones. Just seeing what people think of the pro comps? I know they have more travel and are alot cheaper. What's the ride like on them.
Cheers

We have them in our mav and are happy with them, it has a 4" lift and i have them in the back of the patrol with a good 6" lift and will be putting them in the front when i get the cash.

I'm running these in my GU Ute with 5" Lift. Selling quite a few at the moment with good response. Very good ride & value for money. Give me a call to talk more if you want. Cheers Dave.

There are adjustable pro comps but few and far between. The non adjustable ones kick arse. I have run a set in my GU for 100 000 km,s and are still going strong. Cant fault them.

I've had them in both a Patrol (GQ) and an 80 Series. They have been reliable over time. The only gripe I have is that they are quite softly damped and don't tend to suit a heavier vehicle. my 2c.

Only issues I've had with mine is that they come with rubber bushings that break down in no time. (where shocks meet vehicle...) Replaced those with poly bushings and life was good again. Not the best but great value.

I always found the rubber bushes to last a lot longer than the polyurethane ones. Poly bushes just crack apart under extreme flex where the rubber bushes squash and spring back. Although there are two type of bushes that are supposed to come with the shocks. One is a full sleve rubber bush which I never use or the two piece rubber bushes which are the ones which will last.

My procomps have been awesome.
I'd buy another set for sure.

Used Pro Comps on the GQ and GU shorties. Would run them on the 80 series but can't buy them in NZ
