anyone have the TJM shocks on their 100? If so how do you like them. Ive searched but there really isn't a lot of information.

any help would be appreciated.
 
I'm running the TJM shocks in the front. They replaced OME nitrocharger shocks.

Physically the TJMs were much fatter and heavier. They seemed much more heavy duty compared to the OME shocks. The TJM also also had slightly more travel.

IMO performance was also improved. Less sway on road and provided better dampening when running at high speeds off road.

How much lift are you running in the front?
 
Never measured, but probably 1.5"ish
 
just ordered a set of these from Metal Tech. Seems to be for a 2" lift, which Im running about 2 ¾ at the moment.. ..

from everything i read they are nice. I'll report back this week when they are installed. Don't look forward to getting the rears out. New England thread lock....aka rust
 
So I've had the TJM shocks on for a couple of days and absolutely love them. I've had billys in the past and like these just as much or better. The ride is solid but soak up big and small bumps easily. I've got BIOR front and rear bumpers, on 35's and there is no body roll taking tight on ramps or turns.

they are definitely beefy as well. My only complaint is that they paint over the threads so getting your top nut on the fronts is a pain in the ass. you have to gradually thread it down and back off until the threads are clear.

If you don't mind me asking, how much were they?
 
If anyone is interested I have a brand new pair never installed for sale in Denver :) I bought an OME lift kit used last year and it only came with one pair of shocks. The guy said they were the rears and I needed to buy fronts. I bought fronts from TJM, and when Slee was installing the lift I get a call asking why I had 2 sets of front shocks :frown: So I bought rear OME to match the front on their advice and have these still in the box!
