Have any of you tried the new Pro Comp MX-6 Shocks?
I need to replace all 4 of mine and I'm wondering if the extra cost of them is worth it.
Or would you recomend something like the Rancho RS9000 or RSX?
Just curious I have to do this this week and the Pro-Comps are onsale.

I put the RSXs' on a few months ago and I think they are great if you like a stiff ride. There is definitely no body roll going on with these shocks and they work just as well off road on the trails.

Hey Knobby, I like my Rancho 9000s. The adjustable settings are really cool. They can make your truck ride like a car on the road and really stiffen things up off road. Just don't get the in cab adjuster. I've heard bad things about it. Like if the air compressor breaks down you're stuck with setting #1 which is real squishy. Manually adjusting them is real easy.

I picked up 4 Rancho RS9000's Yesterday. Greg's going to help me slap those on & blead my brake system today (as long as it doesn't start raining).
Thanks for all your input guys. I'll have pictures on my website a few hours after I'm finished.

No one has anything good to say about the ProComps?? I am a poor, poor man and I have been wanting a set of them for a while. The ES9000's. My dad has Rancho RS5000 on his Ram 4x4 and the ride sucks ass, on and off the road. Anyone have anything good to say about the ProComps to reasure me before I go drop some cash on them??

I had Rancho Rs5000's on my 91 F150. Awesome shocks.
Pro Comps are good too, especially the 9000's.

I have the pro comp ES 9000s on my 02 4x4 and they are pretty good on and off road but i've noticed that the bushings are shot so i'm gonna try the monroe reflex i think or maybe rancho rs 9000(because they're adjustable).

Thanks Knobby. I'll see what they say. Hey, just to let you know, your trucks looks good. Hopefully soon I'll have my pics up and running. I'm getting a 4.10 gear and limited slip posi on it as we speak. Sure does look good with the 33x12.5 BFG's. Thanks again, Greg
