I run Koni's ....couldn't tell you the part number off hand (i'd have to look it up on the shocker) but I took a factory original unit into a Koni distributor and after a few pertinant questions about the vehicle he matched it up.

I use the Doetsch shocks that they made for the Pinz. I bought them from Scott at EI: http://www.expedition-imports.com/produ ... 10712.html
I'm very happy with the fit and the ride.

I use the Doetsch shocks made for the Pinz as well. Excellent fit, good ride. Got them from EI.

Best bet is go with the once Expedition Import sell they are made for the pinz! I previously got some ranchos and the proplem is that other shocks are valved differently. Whenever I would take a bump too quick it felt like the shock would not return quick enough, I would head a snapping noise switched them back and problem was solved! Good luck

I too have the EI shocks. Easy to install, ride well and not too expensive.
