All four of your vehicle’s wheels—lifted or stock—could use the sky-high handling and smoothness of Skyjacker Nitro 8000 Shocks. They’re highly-charged with 150psi of nitrogen gas for a smooth, consistent ride that adjusts to road conditions.

Skyjacker Nitro 8000 Shocks boast multi-stage velocity-sensitive valving that changes shock performance to speed and road conditions. Further fortifying Skyjacker Shocks’ strength and smoothness is their twin tube construction, along with heavy-duty 14mm rods.

Skyjacker Nitro 8000 Shocks come in front and rear sets, as well as sizes that accommodate most any level of lifting. Long-lasting red polyurethane bushings and boots are included with every shock. And, all you have to do to get the right shocks is select your vehicle above. What’s even better, your Skyjacker Nitro 8000 Shocks carry a Lifetime Warranty.

Price: $40.00
Pros: At $40 per corner, Great value, noticeable ride improvement over the old pro-comps that were on my YJ.
Cons: None so far
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Have not wheeled with these yet but on road they definitely make the ride less bouncy than before. I like them so far and what a smoking price at 4wheelparts.

Pros: Love the ride quality. Definitely better than OEM by far lol.
Cons: Wish I would have known to use the original sleeves do to rattling lol.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: My ride quality before was bouncy. It I could feel every bump to a "T". I went online and bought these shocks, and other than the rattling noise do to not doing more research, Its a smooth ride. Might as well have a Cadillac badge. Almost too smooth to be called a Jeep

Price: $43.00
Pros: Firm Ride
Cons: Made in Mexico
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Replaced a set of 5 year old Rusty's hydro shocks. I added rear upper BPE's so I ordered the stock length shock. Installation took 30 minutes. I opted to leave off the boot and stickers.

The ride is superb. Firm, but not rigid. I don't bottom out going over speed humps. I plan to replace the fronts with Nitro's.

The only down side is made in Mexico. The Rusty's shocks were made in the US.

Comments: when i did my BB, i held out for good shocks and this is what i got, my only suggestion would be to reuse your old upper shock bushings because the new poly jobs are to small and will pull through the hole and cut into basically circles.
