Default Sharing, $89 for 4 shocks at Summit

Just thought I would share that Summit has shocks on I can only assume is close out. $20 each. Was $89 shipped.
Rancho RSX series shocks. I could not find to much info or review on them so will see what I come up with.
They also have them for other vehicles. So if in need for a different ride check them out also.

Also had Edelbrock rear shocks on sale for ~$50.

Yeah, I'm curious if anyone knows anything about these RSX shocks. $20 a piece is almost too good to pass up. I'm at 200K with the original shocks on my Jimmy.

Edit: Seems like they get mixed reviews in the Jeep community...but that's from people who look at them from an off roading standpoint. I don't really care about that, as long as they do fine for daily driving.

Some more info on the RSX shocks:

Oh well, I'm on a budget and $89 out the door is a pretty slick deal for me...especially when replacing the original DeCarbon shocks I have now.

Last year I bought $20 shocks -KYB GR2- for my Tbird off Amazon.
Blah! They work great till it's over 85 deg. Then the hotter it gets and rougher the pavement the rougher the ride. Which HAS to be fluid building bubbles.
IMO - and I stress I dont know this for sure- but it seems to me that gas-filled {Nitrogen is cheap} covers up many sins of cheap shock fluid. And prolly the valving.

I got my Monroe Reflex's for just a little more than that. I love them! They are an "all-terrain" type of shock, just like my tires. I've had 'em highway driving, city driving, mud pit, trail, they do good all around. Idk if Monroe still has a rebate going on, but they had a rebate of $40 on them. Of course the rebate is good on any Monroe or Rancho (Because Monroe owns Rancho) shock. This might of been for last month, not completely sure.
