Default peoples opinion on shocks

I'd either be putting on OME or Rancho. The ProComp is an unknown - but should be ok.
Bilstens are good too - but expensive....
Personally I won't be too keen on the TJM - mainly because it not adjustable and is really an unknown....IE could be REALLY firm like the nonadjustable procomps or the toughdog....

The downside to the procomp adjustales is that the adjuster is on the shaft so you lose an inch of stroke compared to a rancho of the same size

rancho's & an in cab controller are dear but offer the best of everything in my 2 bit opinion. without the controller they lose out cos you hardly change them & and conditions/speeds/surfaces/payloads/weather conditions as in hi wind require different settings & you cant get out every time to tune them.
if you find any shock has less travel than the other is probably cos its a different size and you have to look into it further to get the rite animal.
pro-comp 9 or 3000's or rancho 5000's ae good all rounders but the adjustability of the 9's wins hands down for comfort & tunable performance with the in cab controller.

If it's a choice between TJM or OME it has to be OME.. I've been abusing mine for the last 3 years through just about everything you could imagine and then some and the OME's are still going strong(although they are pretty battered and beaten up).
