I had 9000's on my old mud truck and never had a problem with them... Only way I would get them again is if I could get the in-cab adjustment setup. Always seemed to be more trouble than it was worth crawling under the truck to make adjustments for off-road.

ok so I received my new shocks, and when taking my old shocks off I realized that they were short, because I have a leveling kit on the truck. So I bolted the new 0" lift shock to the bottom as normal, and for the top I put two bushings underneth the shock top mount, cut a third bushings in half and used it on top of the mount. This setup= about 3/4 inch lift shock. Aka perfect for leveling kits. I have a bit more articulation now, and hopefully I won't blow any more shocks at full droop.
