Anyone have any experience with these shocks? In the market for some shocks and can’t find much info.

 

Part of the reason I think you might have a hard time finding reviews or whatnot about those shocks is that I can't imagine anyone that knows anything putting a rubicon express shock on their rig, much less at that cost. That is about how well thought of the manufacturer is in our JK arena. I can't tell you if they are good or bad, but I can tell you I'd never have a Rubicon Express shock on my jeep considering all the other reputable options out there. I'd go so far as to say 95% of the RE shocks on jeeps out there probably came along with a lift kit purchased by an owner that is still trying to figure things out.

 

Most Rubicon Express shocks are rebadged from another vendor. I don't know about the reservoir shocks but the monotube's are Bilstein 5100's so those I wouldn't have a problem with.

Unless I knew who the vendor was, I wouldn't use them when there are other very good choices available.

 

Do you have a source to support your claim that RE uses the Bilstein 5100's and just puts a different sticker on them? I know a lot of the brands are all owned by a singular brand but I hadn't come across that piece of information.

 

Well they might have one time been build by Bilstein but not anymore. A Taiwan company named profendersuspension.com makes there shocks now. I ended up going with jks tuned fox with reservoirs.
