The reason stock ones leak and fail is because they hang low and are the first line of defense against a rock, stump or any other such offender. The stock one is ALL you need, along with a Woods relocation bracket that will mount it up and out of the way. Trust me. If you just have to have an aftermarket, knock yourself out, but there are plenty of stock ones to be had cheap or free and you could spend that money elsewhere. Just my 2 cents......again. Wayoflife himself has an in depth thread on this very thing if you want to do a search.

EDIT: Here is the thread right here:

Rusty's sells one for $35. It is a pretty easy driveway fix.

X2 on the Woods ss relocate kit. The kit really gets the ss out of harms way. I have the Teraflex and so far I really like it.

I added the Rough Country dual. Didn't make any difference. Like the other thread said, dial in your suspension and you can get by with the little stock one. I figured the big one will help with the roads in Mexico that are often very rough and pot holed.. I didn't notice much difference. Once the suspension is dialed in it's about as good as it's going to get (it's never going to drive like a German sedan no matter what).

yea I don't expect it to drive like German sedan ever. My dealer wants me to believe such but they sell Mercedes.

Where can I find the woods relocation kit? I searched quadratec to no avail.

I just installed a Superlift SS. The brackets that come with the shock move it up and out of the way.
