The stock sport shocks are a joke. The rubicons are a nice upgradeif you can get a decent Price on them. I only paid 60 bucks. Any more than 100 you can get aftermarket for another hundred or so.

I up'd to Rubi shocks over my X shocks. It is stiffer for sure, the compression on X/sport shocks is about 30 lbs, on the Rubi they are 80 lbs. With this I was able to immediately notice a difference when it came to driving on gravel/dirt roads that were rough. Recovery was so much faster with less tail whip

Picked mine up for 45 and never looked back. Way more stable on and off road.

If they are dirt cheap (free) do it. If not you are going to upgrade again anyway soon. They are good but there is always better.
