Default Rubicon Front Shocks on XJ

I started out with RC 3" Lift that came with 2.2 shocks. Rear end was not dampened enough and had suggestions to use the Red Black take offs from a Rubicon. I installed those on the back and it helped a lot. Wondering if the front shocks would work out well for the front as well ? Has anyone tried them ?

Have em on mine. Amazing shocks coupled with my 3" lift... Work well with my plow too... Make sure you get the red in color Rubicons though.
