Default Zone Nitro Shocks

Hey, I have finally gathered all the parts and pieces for about 4.5inches of lift. All I need now are shocks and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the new Nitro shocks that zone just came out with? Also wondering what the extended and compressed lengths on their shocks was. If anyone has any feedback at all it would be appreciated, Thanks!

Steer clear.

If you want top of the line, Bilstein or Fox. Want great quality without the huge tag, BDS or OME.

I like the BDS shocks that I've got on my truck. Kinda stiff when I'm in it alone, but with a little bit of weight it rides really nice. So if I've got ppl or a bunch of gear it handles perfect.

I bought the Sky Jacker Nitros and am very happy with them. My friend bought the Zone nitros (supposedly they are made by RC) and they seem like the same exact shock. JMO...Tj

Don't get Bilstien Shocks, they have a Mushy feel to them, had them on mine and it didn't stiffen the ride up at all.
