And I apologize as I can't suggest/tell people where the deal(s) are. We stay out of the sales side of things. Just answering questions.
Thanks! this is what I was going to reply back. Sorry for not being clearer initially. I was just surprised to find a deal for someone wanting to buy that item!

From my understanding - and I am not a shock professional (Rancho is on here however!) - "long travel" shocks are shocks that get additional travel out of a fixed length can than other shocks. To me this means that remote reservior shocks are true "long travel" shocks because they get more total travel from a same-length shock?.

I've heard some brands claim "long-travel" as a selling point but think they are just selling you a longer length shock.

Yes your right but not needed completely only if your flexing hardcore. I am just talking to get a better ride etc to what's needed. D60 are not needed but ppl get them for larger tires. So even then extented brackets would be fine. Like 5-10 bucks or something if that.

Add comfort by adding padding where Jeep forgot to add it... The arm rests. Maybe I just have bony and veiny arms but those things are uncomfortable as hell! My arms hurt and end up going numb from those damn things. Padding, vinyl and a $26 1950 Singer sewing machine added up to a relatively more plush interior in my JK.
