I paid 420 for 4 rs9000s and rs5000 stabilizer shock with high clearance mount. Then get 100 dollar rebate from that

$300 & free shipping from 4wd and the $100 mail in rebate. $200 for 4 shocks is an insane deal

No matter who you are gonna buy from, you are gonna get some great shocks! I like dealing with Eric because it seems more personal. If I would have a problem I know exactly who to contact instead of dealing with some companies customer service. Happy jeeping! !

Anyone run these shocks with the RK 2.5 max travel? If so how is the ride quality on and off the road. My setup now is a little too stiff for my liking, considering I have a light rig that's to be expected.

The rs9000s are adjustable with a turn of the knob so a little trial and error I'm sure u can find a setting to your liking

I called 4WD last week wanting to order these shocks and was quoted $300 over the phone but the rears are back-ordered until mid April so I figured I'd hunt around. Turns out that was the best deal around so I called back earlier today and was quoted $327. I asked about a forum discount and let the rep. know I was quoted $300 last week and he went ahead and did it.

Goodness. This thread is making me think I should just order a set in case I decide on a mild lift in a couple months!

Hmm. The 0-2" or the 2.5-3.5"? I was thinking only the mildest lift but... Maybe 2.5"?
