Love mine. Great quality. Great ride, no complaints.
I would be interested in knowing whom is making the Rough Country shocks. I know that Monroe makes the shocks for Rusty's. My left rear is bashed up a little on the body of the shock, from a rock. No leaking, feels great.

This is what I pulled from their respective websites:
RUSTY'S PERFORMANCE SHOCKS
New & Improved, Rusty's offers a Hydro shock that is specifically designed for your Jeep vehicle. Rusty's shocks are available for stock height vehicles and raised vehicles, with extended lengths up to 35 inches. Manufactured by Tenneco Manufacturing to our specifications, to insure only the best for your vehicle.
• 10 stage velocity sensitive valving
• 240 hour salt spray resistant finish
• 5/8 diameter hardened chrome shaft .625"
• 13/8 diameter piston 1.375"
• Expanded tube design for increased fluid capacity
• Double wall construction
• Internal rebound bumper
• Double welded mount
• Vehicle specific valving
• Limited Lifetime Warranty
The Performance 2.2 series shock absorbers are designed to meet the needs of demanding off-road enthusiasts while still giving the desired on-road ride.
• External jounce bumper.
• Large 2.2" diameter body.
• Massive 41.4 mm diameter piston. 1.63”
• 17.5mm chrome hardened piston rod. 0.689”
• 50% larger than standard shock absorbers.
Comparison of the bodies, they are pretty close. Rods are almost dead on. No mention on the vavling difference with RC. Just wondering rear world feel.
