Hey guys, just wondering what your thoughts on skyjacker shocks were, as here in Australia there not a big brand.

 

They are like any other white bodies...not very good.

 

Can you recommend any for 95 xj

 

For a good all around shock.. Bilstein 5100s. Or Old Man Emu Nitro Shocks

 

Thanks mate

 

Ive had a set of SkyJacker nitros on my jeep for 6 years and aside from blowing one from bottoming it out, they are still as stiff as the day I bought them. They're cheap, tough, "crappy" white bodies... but as a budget shock I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

 

x2 i've had mine almost 10 years. mind you, it's not a daily driver much, but i've put lots of wheeling miles on them.
just replaced them with bilsteins.

 

My general opinion:

Shocks are shocks. Save money and get whatever you can afford.

 

Thanks for your help, I had never heard on them before here in Australia. I'm currently running ranchos and just wondering which were the better shock.

 

If your new and don't know what your doing or looking at.. then yeah.. Shocks are shocks... I've had skyjacker shocks going on 4 years and haven't had any issues with the suspension. I would recommend Skyjacker for any kind of lift height.

Don't just settle or the cheaper brand. Procomp, Rustys, RoughCountry.. Are not brands that will last longer than a year.

Brands like Skyjacker, Rubicon, SuperLift, Teraflex. Those brands will last you longer that a year.

 

if you're still running short arms and sway bar disconnects, white shocks are probably the right shocks for you

 

I can get a good deal on some rough country white bodies but are the skyjackers really that much better because i've been looking at those to.

White bodies are white bodies

 

So can I and was about to order till I read this. All 4 shocks to my door for $140.

 

Yea same here, $130! Now I'm second guessing. But I guess white bodies are white bodies and if you want better you gotta pay! lol
