i looked at those things they are a pretty penny and for the amount i offroad the jeep (1-2 times monthly) i'll never get my moneys worth outa them or even be able to use them to their full potential. just to fill you guys in those are $680 a pair so what you see up there thats $1,360

I guess it all depends on how you use your JK and where you want to put your money. If you don't have bottomless pockets, everything is a bit of a compromise. If you wheel on the weekends, and aren't racing, investing the extra hard earned cash in a winch and saving a bit on the shocks is probably a better option, considering the monotubes work just fine. On the flip side, if you actually need the performance advantage of reservoir shocks, maybe you can save a few bucks elsewhere. Personally I like the reservoir shocks, but I don't have them, and doubt my JK will ever see them.
