Default Another shock question.

I am down to 3 brands of shocks, but only two of them are on sale (the reason I might be getting new shocks)

1. skyjacker (on sale)
2. rancho (on sale)
3. blistien

When I say on sale, it's not just one shock from the brand, it is all the shocks they carry from that brand. My question on the brand is have you ran any of them? What series of that brand did / do you have? Do you recommend it?

The other thing is when looking at them, I can get hydro, or nitro shocks, which one is better for street use?

I am currently on the rough country n2.0 shocks, and they are about 2-3 months old. Are these good shocks? Are they worth replacing with any of the other brands of shocks I have listed?

You're on 2 month old shocks and looking at replacing them? Sounds like a waste of money to me.

People go 100k even 200k on originals.

I am on a 5" lift, reason for replacement is just because of the sale, I can get a set of 4 shocks for 75 bucks (the company is going out of business). Either way I am buying 2 sets of shocks, one for my brother truck (his shocks are cracked, and he works out of state, so a good Christmas gift) and the second set will either be for my truck, or my dads bronco (which doesn't run, but with any luck he should be getting the engine soon)

Whats the price on the ones on sale? If its just because its a offer thats to good to pass up I understand. But the bilsteins aren't on sale so I would scratch that one off the list

The reason I put blisteins on there is because if they are a whole lot better than the other ones, I will wait and get blisteins, no use spending money just to spend money. I am still getting the ones for my brother, and my dad, or I, depending on how much better blisteins are.
