Overview
The Rubicon Express SK010505RXJ is a four-shock kit from the Extreme-Duty mono-tube line, covering both front and rear positions. Rubicon Express says these shocks are developed and tuned for each application, which it presents as the way to keep control without giving up ride quality, high-speed stability or comfort on long trips over rough terrain.
The shock bodies are gas charged. The front shocks need the RE2000 adapter, which is not part of the kit, so plan to order it with the shocks.
Key features
- Four shocks for front and rear positions
- Extreme-Duty mono-tube design
- Gas charged body
- Tuned for each application
- Front shocks require the RE2000 adapter
Setting up a four-shock kit
A four-shock kit replaces both ends of the suspension at once, which helps keep damping consistent from front to rear. Before installing, lay out the four units and check that each one matches its position. Front and rear shocks often differ in length and mounting style, so mixing them up can prevent the suspension from reaching its full travel.
Measure the current shocks at their mounts before ordering, since the kit does not include length figures. Front installs often need an adapter to fit the mounting points, so confirm that requirement early. Inspect the existing bushings and brackets while the old shocks are off, and replace any worn hardware before the new units go in.
- Match each unit to its front or rear position
- Measure current shocks at the mounts before ordering
- Inspect bushings and brackets while the old shocks are off
- Torque fasteners and re-check after the first drives
