I have the RC 2.0 shocks theyre actually good shocks for the price i recommend them i paid 140 around christmas time when they were on sale but a warning when putting them on i needed stem bolt eliminators in the front is the top bolt on the shocks in the front that goes thru the fender well and when installing them put the bottom part of the shocks in first then put the top on because when you cut the strap holding them down theyre is alot of pressure to recompress them

Heres a pic of the new steering stabilizer from rough country, it took forever to take the old one off due to the rusty bolts and we basically had to beat it to get it to come off haha. But it was worth it, it made a huge difference in my steering. A big thanks goes out to caleb pressnell for helping me put it on, but heres a couple pics..
