What Owners Say
Owners and enthusiasts praise the RRD shocks for delivering smooth, controlled performance over rough terrain, with one rider noting they handle sharp rock drops and high-speed drainage dips without hard bottoming. The twin-tube design offers a softer ride that works well for daily drivers and weekend wheelers, making them a solid budget-friendly option. However, some owners report the newer IFP versions require nitrogen servicing every 12 months, and maintenance costs can add up quickly—leaving a few questioning whether the upkeep is worth it for shocks at this price point. Despite these concerns, the RRD shocks maintain a reputation as capable performers that balance comfort and off-road capability for Jeep enthusiasts.
