Are these Rubicon Express Shocks a good setup?

[GATORB8]

I can get those measurements tonight, I currently run 295/70s but have 315/70/17 Mickey ATZP3s (which run pretty true to size) that will be installed in a couple months.

Gutting the fenders? Not sure you'll be able to flex out 35s with stock bumpstops.

BTW, are Rubicon Express made by Billstein??

I guess they could be, but it doesn't look like they match any of the Bilsteins.

Here's my ride as it currently sits, and have a winch in front if you can't see it.

Should be OK on clearance, lol.

20 years ago RE made some pretty good product. Not so much any more, just mass produced garbage.

What do you recommend, just some basic Fox 2.0 in my case??

You really can’t beat Fox. You can get them tuned to your ride from Accutune for basically the same price. That’s what I would do. They are active on these forums and super helpful with questions.

Can you get your shock eye to eye measurement at ride height? With the 4 door springs, you may be a little higher than just a JL Rub. Baseline in the spreadsheet is 20" eye to eye for the Rubicon.

What size tires are you running? A small bump may open up a couple other shock options if you have the height to still have decent uptravel.

21 front 22 rear eye to eye.
