Rear shock on my 18 JLUR looked like it was leaking at 50k miles. Instead of getting new shocks and a lift, decided to buy a low mile take off set of Rubi shocks from ebay for about $100.
Surprised after removing the OEM shocks, the fronts were blown, showing no dampening at all. Have no idea how long they have been this way, so Check Your Shocks!

Have you done a lot of off road use in that 50k, just curious.

Hardly any, just forest trails. 1day at an offroad park - no rock crawling. That's why so surprised.
