As the title states, does anyone know the difference between Rubicon Express twin tube shocks, and Doetsch tech 3000's?

Heres my problem, i ordered the 2inch budget boost from RE, and well theyre out of front RE TT's, and can substitute 4 DT 3000's, i cant seem to find any good info on them.

I have the option of waiting for the tt's or getting the dt's right now....i just want to know if one is better than the other, or any info on them i can get to help make my decision...

I dont wanna pass up the DT's if theyre better, but i have NO clue.

if you can get them for the same price i'd say just go with the DT's. i've never heard anything bad about them. i think when buying sets, the DT's are usually more expensive than the RE's.

Rubicon express and DT make great shocks..

But the rubicon express Twin tubes are garbage. I have always been told to stick to the Mono-tubes!

A good rule of thumb is that all white bodied shocks are essentially the same and are all cheap junk. If you want a set of good shocks I'd get Bilstein 5150s or try out the RC Performance 2.2s
