i've never heard of anyone running them. for the price i would NOT run them though.

there is no mention of specific valving, just one generic valving which means you cannot tune them to your XJ.

no mention of being rebuildable.

for $30 more a shock (probably cheaper if you shop around) you could get bilstein 7100s which are rebuildable and offer lots of valving options.

Hell, if you're going to spend 150 bucks on a shock you might as well get Bilsteins.


Edit: Yeah, what he said.

Well so bilsteins is the better option of choice. Well which kind and size do you guys think I should run on my 4.5 inch long arm kit?

I'm running RE leads, RC shackles relocation breaks, rustys .75" shackles, RE coils, RC lower control arms, ironman4x4 papers, rustys brakelines, netting about 7-6.5" of lift, I got the 5.5" of lift rear shocks and the 6" of lift front shocks, but you'll need to get different length ones... Bilstein is great n all but Rustys is cheaper, good looking, US made, and ride ****ing amazingly
