Pro Comp was founded in 1992 and their entire focus was
on suspension systems that would be able to conquer even the toughest of
terrains. From there, they eventually
branched out and began making other products that related to those suspension
systems. Now, they make shocks, tires
and yes, wheels. That said, Pro Comp
never lost their focus with the suspensions and they are constantly coming up
with new innovative suspension systems.
When Pro Comp decided to make their first foray into the
market for wheels, the year was 2001.
Just 3 years before that, they began making tires so wheels were just
the next natural step. This move was a
good one because both the tire and the wheel line could support each
other. From the beginning, Pro Comp made
the decision to not just make aluminum alloy wheels but also to make steel
wheels. This decision was made so that
Pro Comp customers could have the choice to buy tough wheels that would take
them over any terrain they want while keeping the cost manageable.
ES3000
No matter what type of wheels you have, you will need
shocks that can handle the terrain too or you will be bounced to pieces. Up until Pro Comp started making shocks,
hitting the trails could be accomplished in only two ways – the cheap and
backbreaking way or the expensive and comfortable way. Quality shocks were amazingly expensive. However, Pro Comp changed all of that with
the ES3000 line of shocks and struts that they make.
These shocks have been made with a design that is twin
tubed and gas filled. They have the
ability to keep their cool even when they are undergoing extreme abuse. The piston rod is chrome hardened and
measures 5/8 of an inch in diameter. The
shock mounts are double welded and the combination means that you get maximum
strength. The rebound stops are made
from Teflon and give you a street ride that is incomparable.
The valving on these shocks is 10 stage and sensitive to
velocity. What this means is that they
adjust themselves to the conditions of the terrain. This substantially improves both on and off
road performance and comfort. In
addition, since they are year, make and model specific, there are no
modifications necessary to install them.
As if all of that were not enough, they also come with a lifetime
warranty.
