Im sure he wants us to compare them to other brands

I have bilsteins and they are great. I had RC's for about a week and they are terrible. Dont know about the brand your asking about but wanted to get my two cents in there

Been running them for about 6 years, they are kinda squishy now and squeak a tiny bit when I first hit the trail but I like em.

i don't know what to compare them too. But i have Doetsch tech 9000's on my toy right know. I like them a-lot. they are only around 50 dollars a shock and in my opinion very good shocks! the only drawl back to these shocks are they are not adjustable. They have very friendly customer service people there give them a call, they will be able to help you. website to doetsch is below. Hope this helps you!

You can't complain about that. You should of replaced them already.

It's a trailer queen so it sees very little pavement. So it's like they are half that age but they have always made that shhhhh sound the first 15-20 minutes on the trail. Guess they just need to warm up. If I replaced them I'd get the same kind if that tells you how much I like them.

Mine right now is a daily driver that see a little dirt here and there. I have only put 3k miles or so on these shocks but have not heard any strange noises from them yet..
