I'm learning to stay away from RE. They have horrible customer service and their products arent the greatest anymore. Ive been waiting on a warranty replacement on a shock for 5 weeks now. I finally gave up and went with bilsteins.

I'm hearing that more and more, especially with their shocks. Which Bilsteins did you go with? I'm going to be upgrading my shocks soon and have been going back and forth between OME long travel and the 5150's.

i'm wondering if anybody who has an RC lift right now went with the nitro 9000 shock upgrade? if they did, did they notice any big difference in on road and off road handling?

been eyeballing the upgrade, but if it doesn't offer anything much better than the shocks that come basic with the kit, i'd figure why spend the extra bucks on it.

yeah, i should have clarified for the regular X-series lift.

i know those 2.2 shocks are nice. they did some hardcore crunching to get those things as nice as they are.
