I love them on my LR Discovery series one, I havent tried them on a JK yet...

If theyve kept their quality standards (as im sure that they have) I would say they would be great!

However, as people on this forum and most jeep forums like more axle articulation, and more lift than 2" (actually it works to be about 2 1/2") you will probably hear people talk more about Rubicon Express etc..

They're great. Awesome ride and well built, but a little on the short side at just over 2" longer than stock. They are supposedly coming out with a 4-6" lift shock this Summer. Might have to trade mine

I am not planning on a lift, but have been kicking around the idea of replacing my shocks and SS with OME. Would there be much benifit to doing that, or is it a waste of money?
