    D1 shocks...

    I saw some Procomp 9000's for about $200 from Rovers north and was wondering if they were any good? Is the ride comparable to the factory shocks or are they like OME's, which I have never had? How do they compare to Rancho RS5000, I have run those on other rigs and were pretty good? TIA
