I've searched, but no right answer.

Does anyone have experience with ONE shocks and RC 2.5in coils? I think my RC shocks are about done and I'm looking at an upgrade. I plan to change my coils at some point also, just not right now and not sure what coils I would want. I don't plan to go more than 2.5in lift.

I can't imagine you'd regret going w/ OME shocks. I love mine.

Thanks, I plan to go the OME route. Will they match ok with the RC coils or should I wait for new ones?

they should be just fine and really, the only way you'll know for sure is to take small steps and do one thing at a time. if you're happy with just the shocks, you just saved yourself a good chunk of change

I got my shocks installed Sunday. What a difference the shock change makes, it's like driving a new jeep! Wonderful ride in comparison, and right now I plan to keep the RC coils on for a while. I wish I had done this a year ago.

Pics don't help any, but I felt like I had to attach them anyway.

I'll most def enjoy it, you don't get jarred over every little bump. They looked pretty tired at the end of the day - you have to get up freakin early to drive down plus you lose an hour
