After installation, it is a good idea to correct the suspension geometry setting (toe in / wheel angle).Shock absorbers provide better control on bumps, better handling with high suspension travel and generally quieten vibrations.
For whom?For Jeep JL/JT owners who want to improve ride comfort and stability – especially for off-road use.
For designs with lifted suspension and larger wheels, when the factory shock absorbers do not work.
