Just saw an ad in the mag: "Now also available on your tablet." iStuff and Kindles, that is. So you may be able to buy the individual issue. Be forewarned: This is not a cheap magazine. Cover price is $12.

My buddy showed this to me yesterday. Its quite apt since I picked up a TF 2.5" with shock adapters on Tuesday and am going to start installing it today after work. I'm not going to buy shocks next (TB, and front LCA's first) but its great to see results for shocks in the price range I intend to go with.

I'm intrigued with this 4 for 3 deal too. I'll have to keep my eyes open for it.

I have seen this deal many times over the years. Pretty common with Rancho.

Nice to see Rancho get praise even over the almighty Bilstein and Fox.

This is really a high-quality magazine, the photography is exceptional and the articles are in-depth, not the typical off-road mag. It's more adventure travel log than product review, but they do include new products occasionally. I started a subscription about a year ago and really look forward to it when it arrives.

It is a very high quality magazine, thus the cost. On top of that, among my friends we joke how it seems they always opt for the expensive stuff in their tests. This test was an outlier. Still, anyone who enjoys overlanding/expedition travel would likely enjoy the mag.

Lol, very true.

Did they say the springs they matched the shocks with? and the height?

Tenth Anniversary Jeep with TF 2.5" BB. So OEM springs. They did that on purpose to avoid favoring any mfg's tuned setup.
