They look sick. That's all I know. I might get them if they weren't worth more than my jeep;)

Longest travel of any shock out there. Cant see them being worse than a whitebox/stock for ride quality. They are on my "lottery list"

I have been running them for over a year now the shock itself is great nice ride amazing travel as advertised. Really only issue I have with them is the rod ends they are pretty well shot after 15-20k but that could be due to mclean mud not cleaning everytime as well as I could of and Canadian roads in the winter. As of worth that depends on your pocket book imo and how you plan your build. personaly I wouldnt consider the shocks without there control arms astleast

Thanks, I am thinking of going to these while I design my coil overs for 2014/2015 I think. Plus dana 60s.

Why would you run the top of the top in suspension and then do middle of the road diffs?

Im going to take a guess at not informed yet?

I had the pleasure of driving a 4 door jk with the full metal cloak suspension today. Smooth and controlled ride. No harsh knocks or clunks over bumps or cracks in the road. Very nice system.

there is a silver JK here in Langdon with the 6 packs, i'm not sure if this Pearson is on the forum or not. At first I though it would take up lots of room, but after seeing in they are quite compact, cool design.
