"Omar,
Thank you for your interest in our Jeep Bypass shocks. These shocks were developed through our master distributor in Dubai, Mebar Auto. I have copied them on this email and they can quote you pricing. Thanks

radflo"
the price 3200$ for four shocks dual bypass with RES.!
while i was at there workshop i found a friend who just finished installed the radflo, we decide to do ride tomorrow to compare two JK. one have 2.5"KING shocks with RES and other one with the above setup.
still i think is too much for the shocks only! tomorrow will be the big day

here is my plan

EVO: Front Double ThrowDown System with coilover shocks only(option to add bypass in future.
and
REBEL: Recon Xtreme Rear Weld-In Jeep JK Coil Over Conversion 2007-2012 with coilover shocks only(option to add bypass in future.

reason:
EVO rear bracket must use coilover and bypass which i cant do, so i replaced it with REBEL rear kit which can accommodate bypass in the future.

radflo shocks or king.!

Hey,
I have the exact same situation as yours!
I have the 2.5" king shocks and I'd love to experiance the radflo bypasses that Mebar has. Can you please give us your feedback on these shocks.

Thank you.
Abdulla

Why can't you run the Evo lever with coil over only? Pretty sure you can add the bypass shocks later.
