I'm also in the market for new shocks for the front. I don't want anything over $200-$215 for the front set. Anyone have reviews on these?

What else do you like?

 

Why not bilstein shocks ? http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...XJ/5100-Series

 

I'd jab a hot poker in my eye before I put anything Rusty's on my XJ, but here's a thread about them.

I've been running the ones pictured for less than a year now. The performance to date has been fine. I'm not a shock expert so that's about all I can say; they do look good though. (:

 

I looked very closely at them for several months and did make up my mind on them to buy a set. But right before I did a friend who owns a parts store called me and told me he could get me Bilstein's for a very good price and he did. I have ran many of Rustys products and personally never had a single problem.

 

Exactly what products have "YOU" ran and had problems with? Please post a few of the photos showing the problems on "YOURS".

BTW your link showed nothing that meant anything. Most all that mouth the products I have found only do so because of posts like those. Like has been said before here statements like this without photos are worthless. I post about nothing about anything I do not have or have not used myself period.

Thanks,
Fred

 

Bilsteins have a great reputation and a lifetime warranty from what I see. It's what I have on mine, they seem to work just fine! It is entirely possible for a place who contracts out alot of work like RC to have good & bad products at the same time. There is little to no chance those shocks are made at the same place as their leaf springs. Call and ask who makes them!

 

All my friends have rustys products on their jeeps and none of us have had any problems.

 

Does the blisterin come in a 6.5 inch shock? I didn't really look but I saw 5.5.
