I wasn't sure if you were referring to bilstein or rancho. Can never be sure, some people think 100$ is a lot for a shock. I would send the bilsteins back if they rusted after a couple months. If it were the ranchos.... Well there's a whole different set of issues.
I have bilstein 7100's, 12" front and 14" back and they haven't rusted in the year I've had em, but the rears don't see elements either.

-OP, why are you concerned about a warranty? Have you had shocks fail on you before?

I've always loved Bilsteins on my street cars....

but I found a set of new JK take off shocks for $30 so I am going to run them with a 2" lift...
