When i installed my ome 890's i found that the shocks i had purchased were too long. My search for the correct length shocks lead me to the following options
OME shocks
Bilstein 5125's with an adapter up top (i hate those adapters)
ICON's remote resevoir
I wanted something cheaper, that will most likely be temporary. Once i finish the rest of my weight adding projects, and really get to use the runner, i will find out if i am happy with the rear springs. If i am happy with the rear springs down the road i will most likely upgrade to a much nicer and rebuildable shock. But in the meantime i found that monroe part number 37024 should work for me. its 13.375 compressed, 21.875 ext and because its for the rear of a trooper the valving should be close. The mounts also look to be what i need. Other shocks for this application are different lengths (shorter), so 37024 is what i ordered, i will have them installed in the next few days and give a review. I like the price, and the fact that i can get them pretty easily is a plus for me.
Other notes:
I was told by wabfab that the 5150's for this application have been discontinued.
Steve at sonoran steel won't sell just his 5125's, which according to him are not an off the shelf unit, can anyone confirm this?
When i called OME about the 60027 they gave me ext and compressed lengths of 13.3 and 21.5, pretty close to the monroe 37024.
Does anyone out there have bilstein 7100 short body or other high quality shock with ome 890's?
