<< Its about time for some new shocks on my 93 4x4 and I have no idea what
 I should be looking for in a shock brands, features, etc. My truck is
 mostly used on road but I do take it off road every other weekend or so over
 the summer. What I'm mainly looking for though is somthing that'll take
 over the harshness of driving over bumps and such. Any recomendations for
 me? >>

I currenly have Rancho's RS5000 shocks on my 4x4 Dak. I wouldn'y suggest them
though. After 1 1/2 years, the 8 bushings were completely shot on all 4
shocks. I ended up replacing them with aftermarket polyurethane ones for $35.
I would highly suggest that when looking at an off-road shock make sure they
come with the urethane bushings and not the rubber ones. Alot of companies
offer such shocks, like Warn, Dick Cepek, Explorer ProComp, TrailMaster, and
many many others. Good Luck.
