It should be noted that this thread is 3 years old now. I no longer run these shocks as I now have outboard shock mounts with Fox Factory 2.0 smooth body shocks (12" travel front and rear).
These shocks and my current setup make the Ranchos seem like nothing but a joke.
The Ranchos are a good off-the-shelf shock as far as TJs are concerned. They are cheap, they ride reasonably well, and if you're on a budget, you'll be hard pressed to find a better shock for less money.
After running my current setup though I would never, ever run a Rancho RS5000X shock again.
