Seen LOTS of JKs with the adjustables, but none with the controller. I have the Rancho adjustables myself and really like them. Not so sure how the air lines would survive a good outing. I broke off a couple of knobs before I protected them, so I can only imagine an exposed air line snagging on a rock or branch.

I talked to rancho a while back and they said that they have a trial period on there shocks. If they suck and you are in that period, send them back. I am very interested to here feedback on it.

Kept busting off the read adjuster knobs. Fronts are reasonably protected. Found the Kilby rear shock skids. Had to drill a hole for the adjusters - can almost adjust by reaching over the edge of the skid but not very easy. Note the right side is in a different place than the left (knobs are NOT centered on shocks).

I have had them for a while now. Love em'.. I don't see the need for the remote, it takes less than a minute to adjust them all.
