Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

My buddy in San Antonio told me to try off road concepts in San Antonio. That's where he did his.

I'd go with the RK cause they can custom tune them for you. If your running steel on all corners and bumpers, they re-valve them to be able to support/perform with all the extra weight.

Haven't used Rk's shocks, but the Fox 2.0 remote res shocks are awesome. I couldn't be happier with them.

Ive read now several places that RK doesnt make the shocks, just puts their name on them (Not uncommon). I am going the Fox's! Are your Fox's the 4-6"?

I went with the rrd shocks. Love everything about them and you can tell them before ordering what ride soft or hard you would like. They also are able to upgrade to reservoir very easily and you can rebuild them or adjust them if anything goes wrong. I also was torn between these 2 great options but I ordered a 3.5 max travel lift from rk so I just went with them!

3.5 max travel with rrd shocks! Still fits in the garage. Waiting on my new fenders so I can flex this bad boy without tearing off the fenders!

Shit! Just when I decided to go with the Fox's! I see that you have a little wiggle room getting into the garage? I am praying my RK 5.5with 38x15's MTZ's will fit! Its going to be real, real close!
