Hi all, Unfortunatley all I can afford is a budget boost. But I can't fund sufficient info on the shox. Since I use it for my DD I don't want to sacrifice ride. My dilema, I can't get much info on the quality of the shocks. So i guess my question is: are the shocks that come with the 2" Rub.Ex. BBoost any good? Should I upgrade to OME or even the monotubes from Ru.Ex.?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help! Derek

I installed the budget boost from RE, and really liked the twin tube shocks. They gave a much better ride than my stock shocks (granted, there were 55K on the stock ones). It was a big improvement, and worth the money.
The mono tube shocks are more of an offroad, hardcore shock. For a daily driver they will be too stiff.
On a side note, the RE shocks look good. They are silver, with black and silver stickers. If memory serves, OME shocks are yellow and black, and skyjackers are red and white. I've got a dark green TJ, and I want it to look good, not like a mardi gras float.

It really depends on the shocks more so than springs...

So twin tube rides better? And mono is better quality, sportier, and longer lasting? Does pro comp ride like sh*t? So apples to apples skyjacker twin vs RE twin vs Pro comp twin?

the skyjacker nitro's seem to offer the best ride there.
