I run the Hydro 8000's and everyone on here say they suck but I've had no problems yet. They have been on for 2 years now and I wheel it hard. Most people run the Nitro's. I heard they have a new 2.0 shock comming out this week that are supposed to be the bomb!

That's because they do suck. Buddy of mine ran them 2 weeks and blew all 4. I would get zone shocks.

Like I've always said. Everyone has an opinion, I've run them for 2 years and they are still good. I don't want to get into a pissin match with anyone. I know lots of people that have had bad experience's with all brands and I'm sure you all do too, so keep your negative comments to yourself! This is a place to get help when in need and not to argue about mine is better then your's.

Not trying to get in a pissing match just saying the rc 8000s are known for blowing the zone shocks are not. I would do the zone shocks one good review out of dozens imo isn't good enough.

Their customer service is excellent! You should speak to AOR, a member here, and he can get you 10% off. Here is a link to the thread

Question Suggestions for installing bigger tires

Hey everyone

I am wanting to get the BF Goodrich All-Terrains in 31x10.50 15, but my 94 is at a stock height and will have Rancho RS5000 shocks on it by the end of this week. What is the MINIMUM lift required to clear these tires with no rubbing and steering interferences? Would a budget 2" lift work? Specifically, the lift I want to do just uses poly-u spacers on top of the front spring coils and spacers above the hangers on the back. Does anyone have experience using these? Would I have to reposition my transfer case so that the angle of the driveshaft isn't too steep?

Thanks,
Rob
