Hello, I have 70,000 miles and would like to replace the four shocks, 10% off road, the rest is High way miles.

Will gas shocks be better? and what brands do you recommend.

On my dodge P/U Rears are 7000 rancho's and front is 9000 rancho's.

Thank-you for any informtion and your experience....Aloha

Bilstein Shockshttp://www.spencerlowracing.com/products/These are the shocks NISMO uses, but will not have the NISMO profit added to them.

70,000 miles on the oem shocks? You must have a nice cushy ride now.

Hello,Thank-you, I did check the web site out, PLus many others on shocks.

so far for my needs, either the Bilstein (ebay with free shipping) $ 249.00 part no: front-B46-1099-H2 (2) and rear Be3-6422-HO (2)

or the Nismo's for 252.00 , a set of 4 ,Nissan exterra parts (almost same price) Bilstein makes the Nismo shocks, only to nismo specs.

Just check what I had under the exterra, seems like the Bilsten (yellow color).

Bilsteins seems like one of the best companies making shocks...today!

Calmini ? seems to have only for 3" lifted exterra. (NO stock ) ones.

Now to decide? UM .....$$$$$ One day? will order......Aloha

I snapped three of the 4 Calmini shocks that came with my lift after 15k. They are just rebadged el-cheapo shocks.

This the rear shock number for 20% stiffer:
