Default Shocks! Shocks! Shocks!

Looking to get the Rancho RS7000MT shocks

Or

The Fox Racing Factory Performance 2.0" shocks

Both for 0-2in. Inch of lift

Just upgrading the stock shocks on my rig to get a better ride with my leveling kit. I like the stance and height of my JK right now, not looking to lift it, it sits nice on my 34's



Any feedback?

Pros for both shocks:
Great shocks!

Pros for the Ranchos:
Price point (we have a great rebate going on right now)
Limited life time warranty. Keep that receipt.
90 ride offer

Fox
Rebuidable/revalveable (?) but most don't have the knowledge to do this.

Good luck in your choice!

$75 back on a set of 4.

So after rebate mid $50ISH to mid $60ISH depending on where you buy them.

I'm swapping out mine with Monroe reflex mono tubes. I have read a lot of good about them. Really good price on a good mono tube. I will give a review when they arrive at the store.
