Ok all out there let have your views.
Currently im Running Rancho 9000X adjustables now the fronts fine and dandy but the rear is a problem as the adjustes just get ripped off.
Recomendations for alternative shocks please.

i have just recently got my crap cross country rear shocks replaced with pro comp 9000's.. i noticed the mx6 has the same issue with the adjuster at the base of the shock making it vunerable to rocks,etc.

the procomps installed have 2.5inches longer than the old shocks that cam with teh 2"lift.. so not 100% sure on total length.. no mods done to rear sep spring swap,etc

its a bit early to tell but so far so good on the procomps

Rancho 5000's if you can still get them? or would it help to flip the shock so the adjuster is on the wheel side and maybe more protected? or move mounting point? - edit i think im abit lucky with SPOA that the housing shields the mounting point.

How bout something non adjustable? LTR's, tough dog ralphs... or get the incab kit, and then wrap the shock bases in thick rubber or a metal shield?

Procomps for $125 each or if you just have your normal 2 inch lift you could go for the EFS(35mm bore) shocks $95 each FREE DELIVERY.

I dont have any lift. Anyway why do these ones suit a FJ40? Or are you just selling your brand rather than what really suit the truck?
