Default pro comp level

Hey guys

Have anyone here had any experience with pro comps pro runner ss coil over level??
I want to level my truck with those coilovers than spacers. The rancho is expensive for just a level but im undecided between the pro comps or the bilsteins.
I cant seem to find alot of reviews about the pro comps, i like the bilsteins because they have different height settings where pro comp only has stock and 2"+. But i hear alot that the bilsteins break when off roading. I go hunting and to the bush alot and its a little offroad trek so i dont want these things to bust when im in the middle of no where.

Thanks

I would stay away from the Bilsteins, i've seen a lot of the Bilsteins breaking by the lower shock mount on the lower A arm.

Thanks for the input.
I know they have some sort of lifetime warranty but the last thing i need is to bust the shock
In the middle of no where.

Has anyone had experience or is anyone currently running pro comps pro runners on their truck?

You can mix the Pro Comp fronts and Bilstein rear or use the Pro Comps on the rear as well. I suspect that the rear Pro Comps probably have a bit stiffer valving than the Billies.

Yeap , just had them installed a few weeks ago and they are a great improvement over the OEM shocks and most importantly no more of the stupid factory rake .. sits even like it should , I like the stiffer ride and more important less body roll in the turns .... I had Pro Comp shocks on my 02 and they were great .. I expect the same from this set ...
I think they have a 90 day satisfaction guarantee ... they are most likely in stock wherever you order them from the Bilstiens probably aren't ..

The Bilstein breakage is a small percentage of bilsteins in use.

I've had them on for over a year with light offroad and they are great. People that have breakage seem to be pushing them past their limits.

There hasn't been a lot if talk about the pro comps.
