New shocks. Wow!
Anyone running Fat Bob's Garage shocks? I think I found the perfect shock for me. ORFAB winch bumper and winch up front, lots of extra weight.....coils are fine but I couldn't seem to have shocks last 6 months on a 2.5 inch lift, and I tried several brands. These things seem stout compared to what I've had in the past and ride super nice.
No more bouncy bouncy going over speed bumps.
We'll see how long these last.
Oh yeah...don't take the limiting straps off unless you have them in place.

So exactly what's wrong with white body shocks? This is a daily driver that I depend upon to do what I need to do which it does quite well, lightly modded to better handle the terrain and severe weather conditions I encounter here. It's not a fully tricked out "best of everything" rig that sees extreme off roading. They were what I could afford at this point in time and are an improvement for my rig that I like. Why do folks seem so down on white body shocks?

there just generic white body shocks. theres nothing special about them. pretty much bottom of the line stuff, but if they work for you right now, right on dude.
