They are a bit new. Maybe too new to have reviews. Hopefully someone does.

We have shipped a ton of these shocks in the past week or so.

They should start showing up on vehicles very shortly . I have been running the prototype set for about 3 months and they are awesome. No complaints at all.

How's the articulation on them? Heard the regular OME's aren't too "drop happy". Good compression, but bad on dropping down for max articulation. Are these new long travel ones good on both ends?

David how does 11.5" compare to stock suspension travel? The two set ups i've been debating are the Rock Jock long travel system and the OME. Up until now i was leaning towards Rock Jock due to the longer travel advertised, but now that it appears OME has that as well it makes it harder. I guess one positive on the Rock Jock set up is it comes with the sway bar end links and brake lines which the OME does not. Then again I've heard rave reviews about the OME ride quality. Does the OME kit come with spring retainers for extreme articulation? Thanks!

Man the weather has sucked the past week or so through most of the country. In your opinion, how's the ride compared to the regular OME's?

I've just spent a ton on the jeep so it will be a while, but I need to start thinking about the spring and what I can do to the Jeep.
