Some guys say they never have a problem, even with marginal off-road use, while others complain about them even on speed bumps in a parking lot. I don't know if Dodge has used different shocks or what?

I never had a problem until hunting season. When Crossing washout trenches I could hear it over extend. Put on new shocks and haven't had any issues since.

I recommend them to everyone. For the price you can't go wrong. I have done a good amount of dirt road driving (probably 30,000 of my 70,000) And when I got them I could tell a huge difference and the ride is still good today.

Man, I was fixin' to jump all over your a$$, but I'm glad I took a second look. I thought you was talkin metric on us. I hate when the Canadians get on here with that km crap! I have no clue what it relates to unless I pull up a conversion chart...

Nice little touch at the end there MOD! lol
No metric here unless it's metric to begin with like the entire Passenger car tire line-up. Never figured out why they don't just say 8"x4"x17 instead of 205/55/17
