			130 Rear Shocks
		
 
			
				
					Rito 130 owners , what's a good shock for the rear of a 130 crew cab ? Currently my truck has a pair of Boge shocks on the rear and they are getting tired , very bouncy in the rear end when driving. The shocks only lasted 15 months , is this a normal life span ? Truck has HCPU tub on it with 2 inch lift heavy duty Dobinson springs and no helper springs. Most driving being done unloaded on open bitumen road allthough has done a Lakefield NP trip loaded and a bit of beach driving.

					I would say your best bet would be a set of bilsteins 
 We had a set of boge shocks on the county, they didn't last very long

					I have Delphi shocks in my Defe and used them on RR as well.
 I rate them better than the Bilstein shocks in my old Disco.
 I believe that they are among the best shocks in the market
