Anybody tried KONI Heavy Track Raid shocks?

Hiya, I'm looking into some new rear shocks since I have my lift fitted.

Yeah I know Rancho RSX 17004 are great but since I am in EU they are hard to find, no Dodge Dakota over here...
(didn't find any, except some trailmaster's for a 108€ / $158 a piece!)

Now before I order my shocks in the US (and pay double due to shipping) I would like to know if anyone has tried these KONI shocks. They are made in Germany and have a very good name. And I can get them here around the corner.

If I buy those I'll probably go for the extra heavy RAID version. If they make those for the Dakota. They do have the Heavy track for it.

And they look nice..they're red.

PS: they also make shocks and struts for the liberty/cherokee.

Get the ones for Durango or Dakota as they are longer for your lift. The Liberty ones will just be stock lenght.

I highly recommend summit racing, but I don't know if they ship internationally..

..If you make it worth my while I'll buy them and ship them (RSX 17004) to you

Nobody has answered that question

In the racing world there is no better(most high end exotic cars use ther stuff),not sure about the offroad stuff though.

Ditto. I've got them on my Z28 and the koni's are considered top of the line for shocks in the camaro/firebird world. They are fantastic on my Z but I don't know anything about there offroad shocks either. I would assume they would be really good.

Thanks! Summit ships internationaly, also through there Ebay store, but shipping USPS $118+23,75 handling fee to Spain....?

And yes does KONI have a good name. Those RAID schocks look sweet, but I can almost buy a frankenlift for the price of two rear shocks.

Anybody tried KONI Heavy Track Raid shocks?
