I'm going with Fox because they are half the price of the Kings. I really wanted the Kings, but I don't think it is worth spending that kind of money on shocks unless you have some trick suspension made for high speed wheeling. 4WD can get Fox pretty cheap.

Yes they are! I've had mine installed for 3 weeks now and love them! Incredible ride/handling on/off road. My JK now rides like a spendy german car. Even my wife commented on how nice they are. ELKA's are handmade one at a time. Very nice fit and finish to them.

Those look nice. Too bad they're yellow. That's a nogo for me. I'm not really in the market, but its nice to ponder the future.

if you guys are spending that much on shocks, relocate the mounts and get them out of the way of the rocks
