Ok guys i am new to the H3 owners and forum and i have a question that i despretely need answering.. does anyone know what the length of OEM shocks extended is? Also i installed new torsion keys (i know i could use the factory ones but they were rusted and one was cracked) and leveled out my H3 i now need new shocks does anyone know anything about pro comp es9000 and will they work with my lift or do i need to order the bilstein 5100 series...

 

Order the Bilstein Cognitos... I dont believe the Pro Comps work... unless you were to get them at a longer than OEM length...

 

I have mine leveled out and they work fine. They are designed for up to three inches of lift I believe.

 

thanks a lot guys for all of your input.. I ordered the bilistein cognitos i figured i would spend a little more now and not have to spend money again... I have the bilstein 4600 series on my nissan and they are awesome.. as soon as i get my shocks on there i will take some pics and upload them on here.. i hope this will fix my bouncing problem i aquired after the lifet

 

also for anyone interested i ordered my shocks from shockwharhouse.com.... 151.90 shipped to the house... if u decide to order from there use coupon code retailme and recieve 5% off your order....

 

a few posts recently said they work great and apx 90 bucks,,,but the name blistein has gotta be worth 50 to 75 $.

im just reporting

 

Bilstein's are considered the best. They are the best. Much better than Pro Comp or anything else on the market. That is why they are on the Corvette Z06 , Porsche,etc

 

How difficult are they to install? I typically pay someone to do any and all work on my vehicles but I would like to change that.

 

skeet I wouldn't put Bilsteins as the best... King shocks and Fox are what I want to run, w/ resivor piggy backs...

Don, they really aren't that bad to install... You could do all four corners in a couple hours...

 

I agree, Bilsteins are ok, but not the best. In fact, the factory shocks might even be better.

Now, if a person cannot change all four shocks on the H3 in about an hour, they need to stop drinking a beer between each shock.
