Just saw this, dont make it over here very often.
So far they've got about 3-4k on them and seem to be holding up well. Ride is pretty firm out back, but I was expecting that. Ill have a better update on Sat/Sun then next week as the 02's my brothers truck and he has it with him out in Bozeman, Montana so I dont get to drive it that often. I dont think they've bottomed out at all, they're pretty dang similar to the Skyjacker N8030s Larry's running. They're a wide body shock, but this truck wont really see any offroading anyway just trips through snow to the mountains and maybe the occasional mild offroad trek.
Just looked up the part number I used, ProComp ES9000 series, pt #926500.

I had gone to the local 4wheelparts here and all they had were es3000 from a up to 6" lift tahoe. Switched those in and it rides amazing, I'll have to grab some pictures of what I did with the mounts for a better explanation. I had pressed out the spacer from the stock shocks and cut the rubber off, and used that for the top and bottom mount, just had to use a few washers to hold the shock in place around the stock bushing. I opted to use the stock ones since the i.d. of the tahoe spacer was a little too big for the mounting bolt, and on the tahoe take offs, they made a few noises when it would move around.
These are non gas charged, I expected them to be squishy, but they are a lot less than I expected. I think for my next ones I'll pick up a set of the es9000s, which may be a while, since these are only a month old.
