Default Why no talk about the RS7000MT?

I am going to buy shocks today. I was set on the 5100s, but the deal Rancho has right now has been very enticing. I see a lot of talk about the RS9000xl, and to be honest, it seems like most people that have them like them. I have found very little information on the RS7000mt though from anyone that has them. It will be going on a 2 door with the RK 2.5 max travel.

I have them.

I have Synergy 1" lift springs and Sumo Springs extended bump stops as my only other suspension mod.

IMHO, compared to stock they're much firmer. I didn't really care for their damping until I switched to Synergy springs as I felt them too stiff for the stock springs rates. They also have more travel than OEM dampers.

With my roof rack, bumpers, winch, etc. my rig is pretty heavy. As it gained weight the damping rates became more and more appropriate.

I'm too impatient, been waiting months. I hope these work out. Stay tuned for my review.

Put them in. There is a noticeable difference in the dampening when you bounce the jeeps over the rough country 2.2. We'll see what happens when I drive it later.
