The synthetic line won't kill you if it breaks. The line will simply fall to the ground. A steel cable will fire back on itself. A very dangerous senario.
The RH shocks are supposed to be great, but they are expensive. I'd hazard a guess that most people put the Rancho 9000's on.

Thanks Ken. Probably another stupid question on my part, but how will either the Ranchos or Rod Hall shocks affect the performance off road versus the ones that come standard? Is it a significant difference?

Longer travel than stock, different valving than stock, external cooler bottle thing that's supposed to keep the fluid cool longer, and definitely neat looking. That's my expert opinion. The Bilsteins I had wore out after around 10k miles.

I'll probably do the same. It look like I may be picking mine up this afternoon, if I can get away from the slave ship for a few hours.

I'm confused.
Have you bought a Hummer, yet?

Thanks. Thanks to you hooking me up with Mike, I'm getting a basic Adventure Package and not much else (adding XM) for $51.122.75 plus tax etc, and will add on some kind of winch and the BH shocks seperately.
