Finding the Aftermarket O.E.M. shock for you is a matter of preference. Bilstein, WER's, AFCO, I-Shock, Elka, ect........... comes down to what you are looking to accomplish in your purchase. Asking on a board is like asking what's the best flavor at Baskin-Robbins is. Let's face it, do you really think that after spending $1300 to $2500 or more for shocks they're going to admit they spent too much or they didn't make the right choice? Hell no, they are not convincing you, they're still convincing themselves. LOL

All the above shocks are great. Even a shock shootout would not prove to find you what is best for you. Talking with the recommenders about the specific riding styles and how there choice saticfies their needs would be more useful than the same old cookie cutter responses. When shopping ask some specific questions like low speed ride, adjustability, fade, high speed ride, bottoming, bucking, customer service, durability, all around use. Know what you want out of your purchase and you will narrow your search. I recommend other brands other than AFCO all the time because I feel that other brand better suits that potential customers needs. Saves me a lot of greif with setup and customer service. If you were to call me and tell me what you want out of your purchase, I'll give you an honest opinion if we can satisfy you or you really need to go buy a different brand. Good luck all.:good:
