Awesome shocks on a budget!
Been curious for a long time on how good rough country really is. No surprise, we’re nothing short of great. Can’t even feel bumps on the road.

Rides like a dream
They don’t have many options for my generation f150 but these are all you need I have 3 inch spindle and 1.5 level stacked together and I just though it was always gonna ride bad but with these shocks it feels like it did years ago when it wasn’t leveled will definitely buy again

Good shock except bushings
Overall a good replacement shock for a lifted 97-03 f150. The only gripe I have is rough country goes el cheapo by using rubber bushings so you have to spend additional $ to put decent urethane bushings in them.

Great except for bushings
Decent shock except for one thing BUSHINGS RC really cheaps out here and puts rubber bushings instead of good polyurethane. So you have to spend more money and purchase aftermarket urethane bushing to use these to their full potential.
