> Stay away from Rancho shocks, very stiff.....

Last year I put RS5000's on my 92YJ. I can feel it when I roll over a
dime on flat pavement - aired down even! Only once when I went camping
with a fully loaded roof rack of gear, wife/kids, and gas topped off,
did I have a smooth ride. The Rancho's are two much shock for such a
light rig.

Flex is only limited by the shock absorber travel. And sway bar
strength, which Real Jeeps don't have to begin with.
