I see where the $3000 price comes into play. Those are just the front.
Yeah, not for the faint of heart. But they’re tunable, rebuildable, and you’ll never have to buy another set of shocks, unless of course you go next level. For me, I’m happy with where I’m at. No plans for axle swap and coil overs, at least for now.

Go to the next level as in the Litebrite group with 6-packs. :swear: ugg that's a NO. :LOL:

So your RK lift is 3.5 why the 4.5-6 lift shock?

The RK springs are a triple rate spring, so you can droop the axle farther than with a regular spring without them coming loose or potentially falling out. So I’m able to run a longer shock than normal, and that’s where my extra flexibility comes from.

One regret I have is at the time my Jeep came in Feb 26th is we tried to locate BFG 35/12.50/17 MT and ordering my Vapor fuel wheels 17x10

Could not find them or Toyo same size anywhere here. They were all on backorder for 6 to 8 weeks.

The service manager had on hand Toyo Open country MT 35/12.50/20 which they had installed along with 37's on 8 Jeeps sitting on the lot.

I liked the look so I changed the Wheel order to 20x10 and they were here in 2 weeks.

But now reading on the forum it's better to have 17" wheels with more rubber sidewall.

My mistake but it's not like they won't go over rocks and off-road.

They will, it’s just a little harsher, and you’ll beat them up more, since there’s less sidewall to protect them.

The best thing to do when looking for shocks is the look at the actual compressed and extended lengths and dont go by “lift height” it does work but you could be shorting yourself on compression or extension
