Not sure if this thread is in the right category:
Has anybody heard of this *** It's all I can find for the Escape. Fair pricing but I'm unable to find a review
Thanks in advance

Never heard of them. It almost looks like you found the Chinese manufacturer for the American sold lift kits. I wonder if they will sell just one, or if you would need to order a container full.

I can order one but I just hate to buy anything not domestic. I would rather find a stiffer domestic shock and mod it. I just have no idea where to begin. the new coil sprigs have really stiffened up the front struts? I am really interested in the Pro-comp 1000, rancho 5000 or Bilstein, but anything is probably better the the original.Any input would be appreciated.

If there is no specific part number for the shock just take off a stock one and measure the collapsed and extended length and ask for one of those in the ProComp or Rancho. Worst case take a stock shock into the shop and have them match it. Should be able to.

measurements that I have sent out to a few  are extended 25.03 and compressed 14.8
My question is do the after market shocks need to be exact?
