New shocks question
I'm thinking about getting new shocks.. well not as much thinking but i really need to. I think mine are either shot or are just horrible. When i hit a bump i can feel it in my teeth haha. I've heard good stuff about RE but for the money, i might just do rusty's/ Your suggestions over the two? I've got a 4.5 RC lift if that helps.
My other questions are, is it ok to get shocks that are longer or do they have to be long as the lift? And should i get anything else when i replace my shocks or have to remount anything?
Edit: These are what i'm looking at

I would say the rubicon cuz thats a good name. Dont know much about rusties thou. And I would get new mounts too. And when you take of the old rear shocks, be careful removing the top mount, if those screws break, your in for a fun afternoon
