My first impression was they are a little stiffer than the OEM, but, of course they are, the OEM shocks were worn out! I have no regrets at all. I would buy them again today. If anyone is on the fence, go with them, they are great shocks!

I put RS5000's on my 99 srw crew 4x4.

I can't drive down a smooth road with a can in my lap anymore.

Big mistake and lesson learned.

They are good off road but don't haul the mail for comfort.

Only bonus is the wife no longer wants to ride in it and the passenger side vanity mirror has gotten some rest.

Denny, what would you go for shock-wise now?
