   The shocks are good and suppose to be the “best” that is why my friend strongly recommend them. The only issue I had was once installed was the 5100s there was a lot of clunking and knocking noises. Had multiple attempts to fix by different people and even replaced control arms, links and bushing trying to eleminate all else. two weeks after installation it was said by a mechanic that the strut didn’t look right and that there was too much thread sticking out. After pulling it out he noticed that 1) there should’ve been a bushing that should’ve came with the 5100s 2) the sleeve was rolling up and down causing major knocks. He didn’t want to send me home without fixing it being that bushings had to be special ordered so he put a spacer on both sides and removed the sleeve. Luckily he does a lot of lifts and knew something was wrong by the sitting. So, 4 control arms, 2 tie end links, 2 sway bar links later and labor charges from 3 people it was finally fixed.

   The shocks are honestly amazing. Going from my factory shocks to these shocks was great. The front shocks I adjusted them to the modest setting of 1.5 in for lift. And the back I added a 1.5 in AAL using the rear shocks even though it says for 0-1 in rear lift, they still however ride great. I although do get some minimal coil bucket control from the upper control arm, which can be fixed with new upper control arms or some bump stops. Still you get amazing ride comfort and manuverability.
