Not if they're installed with the knob for the rear shocks facing into
the shock mount as I ran mine. That way, they're totally protected. The
knobs on the front shocks aren't vulnerable at all.

True, but fairly hardcore, although 4WheelParts I think had a sale on
the remote control being free for the Rancho's. Some wives like the
bricklike control, some might not.

For street and rough roads, I'd check also out the Edelbrock IAS
inertials at 4WheelParts or similar.

I've been a fan of the Edelbrock IAS Performers ever since I installed
them. Even my wife as a passenger noticed the improvements, both on
and off road. Kinda pricey son of a guns though.

Re: "Best" shocks for both on/off road
 

i HAVE HAD THE R9000'S ON MY 00TJ FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. I ADDED THE CAB CONTROL
FEATURE ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND FIND IT VERY CONVENIENT. i HAVE KNOCKED OFF THE
FITTING ON THE SHOCK A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT IT IS AN EASY FIX.
