Doetsch shocks with SOA

[TriksRevival]

i found a good deal on a set of shocks. ive never heard anything about doetsch shocks wether there good or bad, so iam looking for some feedback on these. what iam looking for is a good stiff shock.

i think a stiff doesch would be the pre-runner. i have 3000's on my SOA pig and it sways with a good breeze, but i like that.

The pre-runners (8000's I think) are a good compromise between too soft and too hard. My dad has them on his 4" SUA 40. I think all 4 were ~$136 from summit racing.

I had the DT 8000s on a SOA fj55, they were a great all around shock and they are cheap. You need stiffer springs or a good sway bar though but all around they are a great shock. Because I still haven't had a chance to really beef up my shocks yet I sold them to get some Pro Comp 9000 nitrogen charged which are about as stiff as the DT 9000 (which are discontiued) aka stiff. It sure added a lot of stability but is really compensating for the fact that my springs are too soft (add a leaf but with too many leafs removed).

I'd have to crawl under my truck to tell which ones they are( if anyone could still tell ), but I have the D T shocks that Ross Stuart at LAH recommended and they are awesome. No short wheelbase rigs around these parts out handle my truck. ;p
