Great shock, on road its better than stock and does well offroad as well.
Have you seen this.

Dyersburg, TN –Rough Countryâ has been manufacturing top quality suspension lift systems
and shock absorbers for over thirty years. Rough Country is proud to announce the addition of
the Performance 2.2 series shock absorbers to its’ product line. The Performance 2.2 series
shock absorbers are designed to meet the needs of demanding offroad
enthusiasts while still
giving the desired onroad
ride.
Featuring a massive 41.4 mm diameter piston, the Performance 2.2 series shock absorber
creates 40% larger displacement than traditional shocks and gives greater control and durability
for offroad
use. The enclosed gas shock is engineered to mount shaft end down reducing unsprung
mass while optimizing handling but is capable of being mounted shaft end up as well.
Designed for vehicles with larger aftermarket tire/wheel combinations, the 2.2 series shock
absorber contains an internal rebound disc spring for greater energy absorption during
suspension extension. On the reverse side, an external jounce bumper creates greater energy
absorption during suspension compression for added protection and durability.
The new Performance shock’s large 2.2” diameter body allows for optimal oil flow as well as
maintains a cooler core temperature thus improving overall performance. Coated in a metallic
finish with two coats of clear, the Performance 2.2 series shock features a 17.5mm chrome
hardened piston rod with micro pores, 50% larger than standard shock absorbers.

Thanks for the replies. It looks like a mono but I guess I will call to confirm. I'm sure the ride is great but I want to confirm cause I do alot of long/hot trails that would turn twin tubes into mush. If they are mono's their definitely up on my list!

Well assuming the RC are monotubes, the OME are going to be softer/nicer around town. Monotubes should last longer and have less fade when they get hot
