Some here expressed a preference for the Rod Hall or Rancho shocks over the stock ones. My dealer is installing the winch and XM on Tuesday. He told me he might have trouble getting the Rod Hall shocks in. Does anyone here know which Rancho shocks I should get if I go that way instead? I'll just use the cash I was going to spend on the ineffectual exhaust "upgrade" on those instead.

I can't tell if the second one is just a component that goes on the first one. (Yes, I am a Rancho shock dummy, but I'm trying).

You want the first one you listed unless you want a remote reservoir shock. Those parts are complete as shown in the pics.

Legal Definitions > act of god definition



act of God definition – an severe event caused by forces of nature, without the possibility of prevention by humans – such as earthquake, tornado, hurricane, etc.

There is a legal term.

Think your girl needs some new shocks for those. Not sure but if I remember correctly extra bounce after hitting a bump is a sign that the shocks are going bad.

What does a "remote reservoir" mean/do?

How much does the steering stabilizer kit help?

Not bad. I dont think there's another product I would use instead. I know I don't want the Delco OEM ones.

Having a remote res system seems like overkill to me. I only see it on show vehicles that never leave the trade show floor let alone go off road.

I would also recommend against the remote system that Rancho has. It gets leaks.
