idk, not a fan off the black rims in general.

but if you went with flat/mat black or maybe ever satin, it would look better than the gloss.

According to Monroe:
Q: Can shock absorbers be mounted upside down (rod end down) and still function properly?
A. Most modern shock absorbers utilize a twin (dual) tube construction; in order to work properly the inner of the two tubes (working chamber) should stay completely filled with oil. The outer (reserve) tube contains an oil reserve along with air or a pressurized gas. If the unit is mounted inverted (rod side down), the air or gas in the outer chamber can enter the inner working chamber, resulting in poor damping performance. Therefore, twin tube shock absorbers should not be mounted upside down (or on their side), with the exception of specially designed units that incorporate a gas cell, or cellular gas material, designed to keep the gas retained in the outer reserve tube.
And since Rancho's site says nothing of any special design of the chambers...

lmfao

heyyyy, whats the matter with black rims? lol

I think the Pro Comp 152 series would be ok with the gold fake bead locks

they could very well be my 2nd set of rims for different tires
although the DC1's are nice, but they don't come in our bolt pattern
