I'm planning on leveling out my H3, and have done a fair amount of research on the topic, but have yet to see anything about people using skyjacker nitro shocks. I could do all 4 instead of just the front for the price of the bilsteins. Skyjackers web site gives them these values

• Collapsed Length (in.): 12.3
• Extended Length (in.): 18.500
• Shock Stroke (in.): 6.25

Has anybody used these, if so what do you think about them?

 

Don't know but if it is bilsteins you want there is a full set for the H3 on fleabay now for $200. Almost bought them myself.

 

I remember reading some OLD threads from back in 06 and 07 about new shocks after leveling and a couple of people had used the skyjackers. I didn't see anything negative about them but the bilsteins seem to be the ones everybody buys now. I'm interested in hearing how the damping on the skyjackers is. I'm hoping it's a little firmer than the bilsteins.

 

I saw that set of Bilstein's for $200 on Ebay, and i was also about to BIN, but it doesn't specify whether if they're for stock height, or leveled.

@SuperPaul, if you end up getting the SkyJacker's, please let us know how they work out. I too am right in the middle of putting together my lift/level, shocks, wheels and tires project. I was going to go with Rancho 5000's, but i'm still weighing all my options, including Bilsteins if i can get them at the right price.

 

I looked at those also, and didn't see any specs on the shocks. I'll probably order the skyjackers, i'll be sure to let you know how they work.

 

I am running procomps on mine with bigger tires and leveled. I loke them and you can get them for half the price of bilstiens also.

 

The Rancho's are SHORTER than stock. They WILL BREAK if you start topping them out offroad.

 

Very good to know! Because of this, i'll pretty much eliminate them.

 

Should be getting these from UPS tomorrow. I'll be sure to put up some pics and thoughts about them.

 

Where did you order them from?
