Anyone here run them?
For $260 and free shipping the 4 Wheel Parts store 15 mins from me for front struts Part #: RANRS5264 and rear shocks #: RANRS5284 plus a $50 Visa gift card when bought together is great price and I have some extra cash so I figured now was a good time to get step 2 and 3 of the lift!
And I already have a set of OME HD springs up front.
Are they still good, since its hard to find the RSXs and they are a bit more expensive...
Any advice?
Thanks!

I run RS5147's in the rear- Durango length and RS5764's in the front. $230 total, plus the $50 rancho extreme deal rebate. And if you create a new account on Amazon, you can sign up for the Amazon Prime 1 month trial- that will give you free shipping, then you can cancel your trial. Thats what i did and they ride great. Good Luck!

Wait a minute, aren't both those Rancho shock part numbers for 0" of lift? Aren't you planning a lift kit installation? Won't you need longer shocks like maybe the rear shock Rancho RS5248's? I'm not positive what you'll need up front for a lifted Libby.

I'm in Canada and I've had bad experiences with 4 Wheel Parts, specifically the UPS shipping & duty charges when my parcels cross the border.

They do say on the 4WD.com website for 0" lift but I beleive they will work for a OME spring setup.
Not sure if they are actually longer or just capable of holding the longer stiffer springs?
I am still torn on what to get...
