Good enough to pull your dumb ass out of 5 feet of water.

I try not to go cheap on any of my 4x4s, I learnd the hard way, when you buy cheap parts you spend more in the long run and do double the work. I know it seems like $140 a shock is a lot of money but you get what you pay for. One of the race cars I worked on for Mobile 1 had shocks that cost over $8000 a shock, There were 8 of them not including the bump stops.

I bought this one for $350 about 3 years ago. I spent $8000 on upgrades. No rust, not even on the frame or the axles. The hood was a little faded.

Hey Cornfield, I am not putting $800 shocks on my truck.

Man.. Give that poor girl a good set of shocks... Terrafirma is decent but not for what you do

i dunno you guys bash terrafirma. i beat the fuckin piss out of my shocks for over 3 years and had zero problems.

They are cheap.. Some people can get away with running them and some people break them and have issues with them. I don't think they are really worth the risk for people who wheel hard..

My TF shocks and springs have been on the D2 for more than 18 months and I've certainly beat them.

*knock-on-wood* No problems to date...

how about fox shocks? i head good things about them.

I've had my tf shocks for over 2 years. I think I bought the first set justin got in. I know im not as hardcore as some, but they've served me well wheeling and being by daily driver.

Seems like the D2 guys have had better luck than the D1 guys on some of the other forums. I have a set on my RRC but I got them cheap used.. I guess I cant see paying full price for a terrafirma shock when you can buy a fox emulsion for faily cheap. Fox shocks are rebuildable, revalveable and are a hands down quality product... I guess more bang for your buck. If you keep an eye out over on Pirate you're likely to find some on a good deal. Fox also offers revalves and I think you're first one is free or something like that..

anyway happy shock shopping

The only complaint I have with my TF lift is that the powder coating is going and its starting to rust
