Pro Comp ES9000 Shock Information and Specs

[Jeppers]

Does anyone have an opinion on shocks that will ride similar to the LX's factory ride with a 2.5" lift? I know there is a lot more that goes into it than just shocks, but I have had the OME's and think they much stiffer than what I want, and was thinking of trying the procomps. If they suck then I am still can swap to the OME's or TJM. Any feedback would be a help.

This thread saved me so much headache! Thanks for those who took the time to get the info here

I read through most of the pages but didn't see if there was a bolt in option for a 2.5" heavy lift running 285's.

RS999208 REAR 23.2 open 14.8 closed
RS999207 FRONT 23.3 open 14.6 closed

Compared to OME
OME 60020 REAR 625mm or 24.5 open 378mm or 14.75 closed
OME 60070 FRONT 617mm or 24.25 open 359mm or 14 closed

Those are the only Rancho's that will work on an 80 without having to modify the mounting points, I run them at 5 normally and dial them up if I'm loaded with people and gear, as I sit now running them lower than that results in a mushroomy/cloud type ride.

I used PN# OME80HL to get the PN for the shocks

and then found the rancho specs here

I'm still running these, 2 years on stock coils running 275's while adding armor and then 2 more years with full armor and a drawer system and just added 315's about a month ago and I'll probably have to change them out come summer next year. For averaging $60-75 per corner I'm pleased with the way they've rode so far.

So í can use the pro comp ex9000 if I have the stock no lift coils ?

I've been looking for longer shocks, and unfortunately my budget can't handle OME L's at the moment. So in digging around (especially on the Aussie forums) I found that a lot of folks were happy with the Pro Comp shocks.

I couldn't find much information on them via Mud, so compiled some information from Summit Racing into a spreadsheet. I figure as long as I have it, I might as well share, right?

Before I compiled my list I measured the max compression I would have (which was 16" with 315's), so my list doesn't contain much below 15" or anything above 19". Roughly speaking (you need to measure for yourself!) 33" tires will give you about 15" of room, 35" tires will give about 16", and 37" about 17". This is due to the tire hitting the body, so if you cut your wheel wells or installed a body lift, those numbers may change.


For comparison here is the OEM (Toyota) information:

Model        Body    Min    Max    Range        Upper    Lower

Front            13.50    22.50    09.00        Stud    Stud
Rear            13.50    22.50    09.00        Stud    Eye

For comparison here is the OME information:

Model        Body    Min    Max    Range        Upper    Lower

N73            13.57    23.40    09.83        Stud    Stud
N74E            14.57    24.40    09.83        Stud    Eye

N73L            15.23    26.26    11.03        Stud    Stud
N74L            15.23    26.26    11.03        Stud    Eye

These are the recommended shocks by Pro Comp. The first would be a set for a stock height vehicle, the second would be a set for a J spring(ish) lifted vehicle with 315's (these might be slightly long and need the bump stops spaced down a bit, it's your job to check that! ). All of these should be a straight bolt in option.

Pro Comp's customer support has been excellent. I have called them once and got my answer within minutes, and the e-mail to them regarding their recommended shock lengths was replied to in less than an hour (and during the lunch hour at that!).

And here's some of the ES1000 and ES3000 shocks. As the ES9000's have plenty of choices for eye/eye, I only looked at their post/eye and post/post shocks in these models.

I also wouldn't recommend the ES1000 or ES3000. These will likely be too soft and won't hold up to the weight of an 80.

Here's the choices for the 1X and 3X:

I'm guessing that the procomp 321560 isn't actually gas charged (error on Summits site).



Thanks to Kaoscruizer who found some bushings that allow the lower rear mounts to bolt right in.

Hi Ebag333

I can know what should be the appropriate Pro Comp steering stabilizer for my TLC .. it is up 2.5 "and has 295 / 75-16 tires

Tks
