no chit man. I wasn't even intending on spending that much....was just gonna get some OME's but with the deal....it was worth every penny. I like the setup ALOT. my brother also got these shocks for his xj...

to anyone on a budget, buying GOOD shocks isn't really optional if you ever have passengers (significant other, children, other family members) and intend to not make them cringe when getting in it.

I firmly believe that RC shocks are a temporary shock. they go bad (frequently), have a bumpy ride (FACT), and are thus hell on your back.

I'm 22 and on my very limited income ($19-24k/year depending) I have managed to find enough good deals on parts to make it a quality ride, not side-stepping like fullsize owners do with body lifts.

I really can't say they are THAT bad I have a family and three kids and a 30 year old military back. Mine never hurts and my family never complains and we drive it as much as we can. Maybe I got the good set I don't know but they are a GREAT shock for the money. I can't compare them too bilsteins or nothing cause I have never had them.

It is what it is and so far I like it!
