Ed my limited experience says Hydro shock=softer ride. Gas holds up longer. Only thing I am positive about is anything is better than Superlift's shocks.

Ed I have not had to change them yet. You could probably contact Superlift. You could also ask Shawn ar Mich Auto Pros. I'm sure somebody makes a replacement.

Hey Ed, both Clint and I have taken off our Skyjacker lowers and now have the Zone arms. My arms would`ve been $80 to rebush all the lowers. I think Shaun can get the arms for $130ish but the bushings are like $40 for all the lowers.... and he stocks the bushings!

They are higher clearance and I can rebuild em twice for what it cost for the Skyjackers.

No, the bushings just got real sloppy which had the axles wandering around.
