and why do you say rancho shocks wouldnt prevent a rollover?
How do you figure the shocks saved you?
I'm saying there are many other factors that are more important than the brand of shock absorber that went into it such as road type, debris on the surface, weather, type of tires, condition of tires, speed, etc.

ok well il say tires did hep too, they were new. the way we spun(almost 2 360 degree spins across 4 lanes), at 75mph on dry ground after being hit 3 times by someone doing 90, we should have flipped. 4 different cops stopped because they couldnt believe we didnt. do you know how hard it is to get a cop to stop and help in vegas? shocks help stabalize your vehicle..kind of there purpose. how do you figure they didnt help? please explain.
