RockSport Long Travel Shock, any thoughts?
2015 jku.
35" nitto trail grapper/ aev wheels.
I am running metal-cloak 3.5 game-changer with Rubicon shocks. I have added Ace engineering front and rear bumpers and dont like the ride anymore. I have been waiting to get new shocks and now i need to. Just looking for advice. The ace stuff added a ton of weight. Need to firm up the ride.
Thanks

3.5" lift and you are using Rubi shocks?! I would be curious to see some photos of your set up.
I think the rocksport are just rebranded OME shocks? If they are they are a decent throw away shock.

Doubt they're rebranded OME shocks, extended and compressed values are different, My guess they're procomp or another cheapy manufacturer.

Stock shocks and that lift?? You must have absolutely no down travel at all, not even an inch.
I doubt they're rebranded low buck shocks, have you ridden on a set of low buck shocks? People are convinced spending more money makes it ride better but anyone would be able to see past some shiny paint Ann's stickers if that's what they really were. That's a question metalcloak could answer though, they're on the forums now and again.

Fox2.0 shocks pair nicely with the metalcloak coils. Ran stock shocks with mine for about two weeks while my fox were being built and the fox firmed the ride right up. Even fully loaded down it feels very controlled
