Just put a set on my last week. Wheeled at hot springs this weekend and very happy off-road. I haven't drove it down the road yet.

I was at a jeep event recently and won a voucher for a complete set of 4 RosckSport shocks, but I also just bought a complete set of Fox Performance Series and installed them with my lift. So I have no use for the RockSport shocks. It wuld be interesting to hear if anyone feels that they are better/worse than the Fox shocks I have installed now. I know that the Fox shocks ride very well and control 37" well both on and off road. I've yet to meet anyone with the Metal Cloak shocks to get a face to face opinion.

We should do a little bargaining

I have a set, have had them for a few months now. I dont have much to compare them to though. I was told when I ordered them that they were very similar to the OME shocks that Metalcloak sells. FWIW they surprised me for their price point on how well they ride. We just took a 7 hour road trip to outer banks this weekend and loaded up they actually rode a little smoother than normal. I dont have a really heavy jeep to begin with but I like them on the day to day ride. I guess time will tell how they really hold up though since I have only had them on since the end of Feb.

Yes, if you want the voucher in trade, I would be interested. I need both shafts, so that would get me half way there. Do you have the yoke(s) required to use it as well?
