Default Rusty's RX-300 Shocks

Was checking out rusty's 12 days of x-mas deals, and saw these shocks. I currently have the OME yellow shocks, and my wifes contsant issue with them is despite how nice they make the ride feel; they look ugly as sin. My only problem with them is they don't flex enough; I saw the rusty's rx-300's and think they might be a great happy medium. Only thing is, I can't seem to find much info on them. Anyone know anything about these? Are they any good? For the price I'd assume so, but I also don't know anything about reservoir shocks and what the need for them is. I am looking for a shock that feels as good on and offroad as the OME, but gives alot more flex. but really what draws me to these is how sexy they look (mango tango jeep craves more orange!)

Well they are remote reservoir shocks and the OME are not. I was wondering about these too. Wonder how they stack up with Bilstein 5150's? Or Fox...they are definitely cheaper

part of my suspension modification will be getting shock extensions some lca skids that happen to move the shock mounts. so if it was purely for looks, i would paint em. but I'm also looking to improve the offroad performance, and I know my biggest limiter right now is my shock length
