Honestly, I didn't pay that much attention when I installed mine...If any, there isn't much of a difference.

 

I can't comment on the Skyjacker shocks alone, since mine came packaged with the Skyjacker coils, but I have been VERY pleased with the entire setup so far.
The factory Rubicon suspension was fabulous and offered great on-road manners, but (I'm sure I'll get responses for this) it was a little too mushy for me.
The Skyjacker setup felt just right from the moment I took it down off the jackstands and did a testdrive. Not too stiff....not too soft.
Alot of guys around here run Bilsteins in their rigs to compensate for the "washboard" dirt roads we get during/after snow season, but I've been satisfied with the Skyjacker Hydros.
So to answer your question...I like them and I think you'll be pleased too.

 

and...they are cheap as hell

 

Wilky..one more question: how do you like that winch...that is my next purchase. I have decided that's the winch i'm getting. just wondering how it's been for you.

 

Sweet, beer and Jeeps and Jeffs house. Sounds like a plan around 1 on Sunday. Ill stop by. Dont have anything yet i need to install, but can stand around drinking Travis's beer.

 

I plan on making the dive back in 35" tires, but I can't decide which ones to go with. I really like the KM2's that Jeff has, but I think the Mud Grapplers are really badass too. I could go with Hankook's and save a few bucks or Kuhmo, but they are directional. Then there's Firestone and Dunlop down at the bottom of my list. Anyone have any useful input??

 

I just leased a 09 Honda Civic to drive to work and it is getting 31 mpg in the 2nd fill up! 30 plus MPG is amazing!

 

Go with the KM2's, best all around off and on road!

 

cool, i'm glad your comming steve..where you been buddy??

 

KM2's hands down.

and if you get them i'll be super jelouse till i steal them while you sleep.
