Since my X comes with the heavy duty gas shocks already, is there any point in getting the Rough Country Performance 2.2 shocks with the lift kit?

It's $139 without the shocks and $300 with.

Think the heavy duty gas shocks would suffice so I can get just the kit?

Pretty impressive looking by the way

 

i was never impressed by thhe stock shocks thats a pretty impressive lift with some flex like that

 

If you don't mind having shock extensions you won't need them.....I ordered my RC 2.5 BB before they offered the shocks, so I called RC and ordered the shocks too, they should be here by Friday. I figured $160 why not try them, I don't really care for the shock extensions, seems like they could bend easily.....Just kinda completes the whole package.

 

I had the 2.5bb with stock HD gas shocks at first then installed the 2.2's they made a noticeable difference in the ride. a little less stiff but no extra body roll. I have since installed the the RE Monotubes and honestly cant tell the difference between them and the 2.2's. I would spend the money if I were you. they are MUCH better than the old rough country shocks. just my 2Cents

 

Well if you plan on wheeling the JK I would upgrade the shocks....the gas filled foam filled cylinder will out perform the stock shocks hands down. Plus the built in bump stop is a great addition to our 2.5" kit.
