shocks question
I was able to drive my truck while on mid tour leave to assess how bad the shocks were. they are shot beyond belief. on a washboarded dirt road, my *** end was all over the place, and couldnt get the power to the ground. at first i thought the clattering sound i heard from the rear was the shocks, but alas it was a broken leaf spring in the right rear main pack, so the money i had set aside for shocks went to a whole new leaf pack.... great...
but anyways i was looking around for shocks and found a sweet deal on some Zone Off Road Nitro shocks (the black ones, not the white ones).

I have done some research on the reviews on them and the reviews seem to be pretty decent. I am not doing 100mph blasts across the baja nor am i doing mega rock crawling. i mainly do logging trails, washboarded dirt mountain roads, and some occasional cross country off roading.
here are the specs..
150 psi Nitrogen Charged
Twin tube design
10 stage velocity sensitive valving
Heavy Chromed 5/8" rod
1-3/8" Fluon Banded Piston
Self Lubricating Seals
Full Displaced Valving
Dual Welded Ends
has anyone used them before?

i did a search for Zone Nitro Shock Review on google and found a little bit of good reviews
Zone Nitro Shocks Review
i think i might pull the trigger and do them for $150 shipped for all 4. can't be any worse then the ones currently on my truck which are completely shot, which I took them all off and none of them rebounded on their own.
