My shocks are in need of replacement . As most of you know I normally go Bilstein ... this time no , trying a new product .
A little more than the Bilstein but reviews seem to tell me they are just a smidgen better than the 5100's, These shocks are also similar to the 5100's as they are a mono-tube design .

So giving the New Skyjacker M95's a try and also replacing the SS with the M95SS Steering Stabilizer .

If my thinking and reading is correct Bilstein might have competition .
I will give a review on them and compare them to the 5100's as I have always used them I think I will be able to give a great review . Will do on and off road test . Stay tuned

Just like the 5100's they say , just a bump more in price ..
Out of all the years using the 5100's on multiple trucks these M95's have me excited and that is hard to do .
