Default Well my rs Rancho 9000s xl are on

It does handle a somewhat better . Over all I think ill be pleased with them id say it feels about like the rubicon shocks did when they were new or prob better seeing they have only been on for a few hours . set fronts on 3 rears on 4 for right now ! Maybe they break in and get better too, Im not sure ?
The price was great once I get my rebate card . The dials on rear were faced inward to avoid damage to them as others had noted ( good tip ) on rear shocks
fit and finish were very good, so I give them ill miss my red ones but comfort wins out over color choice lol

and again Thanks goes out to Rancho and Off Road Elements

In regards to rear, I am hoping to make headway on this, it MIGHT be an option to get some/them after the fact. We are happy with the price point of the 2" SPORT system.

I would say a shop can do this in 3 hours tops, honestly. They have the lift and should be able to knock this out no worries.

Well my shocks aren't but my frame and all linkages are. Keeps any rust from forming.

Keep in mind mine's an 08 and has spent it's life through salty ass Michigan winters.

Only thing that's never been coated were the end links and you can see the rust
