Review on Rough Country Premium Front Absorbers by John Akins

I purchased this kit for my 1997 Jeep Cherokee XJ and the products were installed by a certified mechanic. These shocks replaced the Rough Country N2.0 shocks that were very tired. The product appears to be of good quality and I have not fully tested the vehicle to give a driving review. Montage, however, is a different story. The front shock absorbers fit perfectly and are bolted! The back doesn't. The top screw tabs were out of specification and too narrow for the screws. The mechanic had to modify the tabs to widen them slightly and allow the bolt to engage as intended. This added man-hours for troubleshooting and resolution.
