Never thought to put mine in like that. But it wouldn't really work for me; I use my parking brake every time.

10-4. I'm grateful I was able to drop the coin on new shocks myself recently as well. Just curious what did you drop on the Monroes?

$25 per shock online. Just hit up the hardware store for the nuts and bolts in preparation of breaking the old ones on the rear shocks.

I went to go check out a couple rubi LJs at a dealer when they were closed last night, and the way they parked the lot cars at night I couldn't get out...so I hopped the curb between a corvette and a 4dr wrongler. Lol I'm sure they saw that on the security camera.

Drove over a Honda civic to get in the lot. Rough approach on exit, forced him to take the curb

I've got about 7k on mine now and they still look and perform great. I've done some good off roading with them and they did great at 15psi. I don't do mud because we don't have any (takes water and this is a desert) so no issues there. You'll love them.

Scrubbed off the last of the glue from the debadging, then used a heat gun to heat up the ugly black pinstripe and pulled that off too. Then I washed the thing, cleaned all the windows and armorall'd the interior.
