Just my .02 cents but you might look at some resevoir shocks Fox, Fabtech, Bilstein (extra fluid to dissipate extra heat from heavy use), especially if your working the front end that hard. The cost is probably higher than what you want to pay, but that's about the only other thing I could think of. It's worth a shot.

I agree with maverick on a different design of shock. Bilesteins are the best way to go. But. with all that jaring on back roads most shocks wont last long. Did you consider getting a good shock with a lifetime warranty?

You should be fine with the Bilsteins on that kits. What is the issue that you are not happy with. You say they didn't last? In what way?
