Raybestos Suspension

[VeitzJeep]

Hey guys, been checking out RockAuto.com and noticed they have Raybestos professional grade front strut assemblies that replaces the shocks, coils, mounts, and hardware for $100 a piece. Should give me a bit of lift considering I'm at 90k miles and have stock suspension. I'm not really looking for much of a lift. A good price is a must too. This set up seems good because all the mounts and hardware will be new as well and is preassembled, so installation is easier.

Anyone have any reviews of Raybestos suspension parts?

I know this isn't really a lift, but figured a suspension question fit well here. :shrug:

Just think of the quality that your getting for $100,and all of it's made in china.You can barely buy a quality shock for $100 anymore.

No doubt that it won't be as good as OME, but I honestly do mostly city and highway driving with dealing with the occasional snow storm and driving on the beach from time to time.

...Couldn't be any worse than the stock suspension?

Really?

Really?

Guess not? :shrug:

Never heard of Raybestos before and was curious about the brand quality.

My thoughts have always been on suspension if I am going to tear into it, I'm going to upgrade, why put in the same old crap, just with a different name on it.
Even if you NEVER go onto even a dirt road an upgraded suspension will handle everything better.
My stock suspension was pulled around 20,000 miles, I had one set of railroad tracks to cross going to work. I had to slow down to 25 before with the stock suspension due to it hitting down on the bumpstops, with the OMEs I went across it at 55 and no problems smooth sailing

Thanks for the opinions guys. Guess I'll be saving up for a bit for an OME suspension.

Keep looking around, I just sold a brand new set of front springs (OME 927s) for 100 bucks
got a deal on them and passed the savings on so deals are out there

Can't wait until I can do this. Slowing down for bumps in a Jeep annoys me.

Go with OME, you will thank us all down the road!
