I'm definitely surprised where I landed, but a set of shocks are finally on order. The Skyjacker Black Max B8518 and B8525 are a near perfect match for the following reasons:
- they seem to offer shorter compressed and longer extended lengths, which are a great match for my oddball suspension setup and ride height
- they are on the soft ride side, which is consistent with my keep it light and nimble theme
- they can be run can up or down in the rear, which allows for more clearance options
- the price is very reasonable, and
- there's a rebate to sweeten the deal
Obviously, the real test will be once they're installed and I have some seat time to evaluate them. We'll see how that goes!
