They are great! I had to play with the spring rate to get it where I wanted but now it's simply awesome. BubbaJK on here is running the rears.

I have 14" 2.5 IBP's,, they are a great shock; however, do not trust King to get the spring rates correct. Since I live 10 miles from their shop I ordered directly from them and told them exactly what I had on my jeep as far as mods and weight, as well as the intended use. Since I received the shocks I have had to go to lighter coils,,3 times!!! Save yourself some grief and do the research,, I suggest talking to the guys at Rebel Off Road and se what they suggest for your rig.
I'm a 2 Dr with 37's, about 5 1/2 inches of lift, Heavy sliders and steel front and rear bumpers. My final spring rates are 150/200 in the front,, the rears I would need to look up in my paperwork( I tried real quick but cant find it),, but it would be similar.
