as far as I know, most use the H7

As to what their differences are, they both look like the HD bilstein rear durango shocks

Tom or one of them /Hay let's change shocks like Jarhead changes Sparkplugs/ fellas can probably tell ya :P

The F4-BE4-A702-H0s are more or less a little lower quality shock, Think of it as the RS line that Rancho has. Not a bad shock by any means just cheaper
Has Blue boot with yellow body

The F4-BE5-6458-H7s are a better shock ( IMO) 46 mm piston, nitrogen filled 360 lb, actually advertised as a racing shock and made for guess what.... a 87-95 Wrangler with 3 to 5 inches of lift
silver body with black boot very cool looking if you're heading to the mall before getting them dirty! :wink:

Last lift we did here we installed these and the ride is ideal I think with the OME 948 springs in the rear. Ask Megalos on here. I drove his about twenty miles after the lift and alignment and it rode and handled great

just my :2cents:
:JEEPIN:
Rev. Mudd is now done preaching :ROTFL:

PS
I have only had,.... so far :shock: RSX 17004s, (GREAT SHOCK ran them 100,000 miles) OME 132Ls ( they're OK ran them for 500 miles ) F4-BE5-6458-H7s ( ran them for 600 miles ) and now the "special ones (3000 miles so far") on mine so not that many jarhead :goink: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL:

I can confirm the excellent ride and handling though I don't have any experience with shocks other than the OEMs.
