Default rubicon shocks?

I found a brand new set of rubi shocks for $100. Are they worth upgrading to? I currently have stock sport shocks. Going to do mostly street with a little beach driving.

I changed out my shocks and springs with brand new rubicon take offs and it really improved the ride. Don't know if just the shocks will do it or not. I got my shocks and springs off fleabay for $100.

If you have the stock black shocks you will be really surprised at how soft they are compared to the rubi shocks. The rubi shocks are an excellent upgrade and will make a better riding jeep.

$100 is a bit high, but if they have less than 1000 miles on them, ok. Much more and I'd be shopping a bit.

I swapped my stocks for Rubi's and the ride is MUCH better.... Like previously posted, $100 is a bit high. I got mine for $40 here on the forum..... You don't even want to know what the stealership charges for a single rubi....
