Discovery II Shocks

[ZZROCOOL]

Ok so let me first say I love my Disco!

90% of my driving is on the street, 10% is off road nothing to ********* mostly in the woods, snow, etc etc. It is time for new shocks and I am stuck between Bilstein, and Old Man EMU. I want to have the best street ride quality. I am running General Grabber AT2 tires.

No opinions?

Bilstein will be your best on road performance....

I would have replied earlier, but I have been spending the day with family.

Although Bilsteins offer a life time warranty, OME's are 1/2" longer and last forever. Mine are now 8 years old, been on most of the trails in California, Moab and Colorado as well as all their high ways and all 4 are still pressurized.
Might also go to Expedition Exchange and read up on the new OME Sports Shock which is now designed with a 3 way valving instead of the old 2 way valves for a better over all ride.

I'll just add to Mike's experience - OME's seem to really last - that's what I have been running with for three years plus - no problems off-road (although I have not done much of that lately)
