Rough Country Shock Absorbers

In need of a replacement shock for my Ram 1500 after the og rear shock got destroyed from debris on I-95 I ordered a set of V-2's and they got lost in delivery. I called RC and without hesitation they immediately sent another pair so I could get my truck fixed fast! Thanks again guys!

Ride is good. Day after installing, towed our 6000 pound travel trailer with weight distribution hitch and shocks on setting 5. Stable ride. Unloaded (have a fiberglass cap), the truck was stiff on default setting of 4. Tried 2 and then 1. At 1, they are just a touch more firm than the factory shocks (which were pretty weak) - providing a comfortable ride. I thought about waiting to review until after driving with a load in the truck bed. But knew if I did not do it now when prompted, I would get busy. As a sales rep, I often carry 200 to 500 pounds of sample gear. Hopefully can update this review after some trips on the road. Negatives include the instructions. The picture of the top is completely useless. There should be a simple exploded diagram of what part goes where. It is mostly intuitively obvious as you put it in place but I wanted to go into the project with confidence and not a feeling of winging it. The rope tied around the shocks to keep compressed was a poor idea. They were in the way and would be hard to undo when trying to install and unload at the same time. With the help of my daughter, I wrapped the shock with a ratchet strap to hold it compressed during install and removed the ropes. This allowed me to slide the bottom onto the pin by the axle and then rotate the shock up into the top hole. I had the wheel off and the frame on jack stands and a hydraulic jack under the axle. Slowly raising the axle with the jack allowed for the top of the shock to go into place and put on the nut. Then was able to release the ratchet strap and finish tightening up both ends. Put the wheel back on and done. Hope this helps others.

Was recommended by my mechanic these and I am incredibly satisfied. My factory shocks went out at 50k miles. I wanted something for daily road driving and the difference is incredible. Highly recommended.

Typical gm to use Rancho shocks, ride was horrible and it wasn't enjoyable to drive my 3500 HD. . went with a maxxsuspension 2. 5 leveling keys and v2 shocks and it's amazing the difference in ride, handling , all around comfort for a Hd truck like my gmc. I would recommend these shocks to anyone who wants a much better comfort ride.

For anyone whose Jeep spends more time on the road than off the road but still wants a capable off-road shock, this is the one! After purchasing my Jeep JT I went about making modifications - I mean who buys a Jeep and doesn't at least do something, right? One of my upgrades was to lift and install hydrostatic shocks, which were great for off-road use but as I found out, absolutely horrible for roads - every bump could be felt through your whole body. After two years of bone jarring rides it was time to change. A lot of research later and I settled on the V2 - I couldn't be happier. The ride is smoother, corners handled better, and challenging terrain is still expertly handled. I like these so much they will be going on my daughter's Jeep JK.

upgraded from my factory ones. Absolutely an upgrade very noticeable and the truck doesn't bounce around anymore

Installed front 3. 5" vertex coilovers and rear 3. 5" vertex shocks. Ride is smooth. Front is maybe a 1/2" higher than rear might need to upgrade to 2. 5 inch block In the rear. I did a sway bar delete and it rides really nice on setting #4

I just replaced the N3 for the V2, and man what a difference. Especially going over bumps. The N3 is jarring but the V2 eats the rough road better. Now need to replace the N3 fronts.

I purchased these shocks to replace my original shocks. Definitely an upgrade well worth doing. I noticed great improvement on the way my pickup rides compared to the old ones. Would highly recommend on a 6 inch lift.

Socks were so stout, I had to compress and bind with a string at the crowns on the ends and slowly allow them to extend into place. Aside from that, they were a great replacement. One of my rear shocks was completely dead and the other in its way out.
