Does anyone run these shocks on their xj? Either just in front or all around? I'd like to know how they ride since they seem like one of the best priced hi-quality shocks around.
 
I thought I read somewhere some people were breaking the shafts on 5150s, not sure how realiable that is though. For all I know they put them on wrong

I've seen a couple come back...one with a broken/bent shaft, the other with the top mount broken/bent off. Both were abused ie: they were too short for the application. Pretty common for any shock though, so it had nothing to do with the actual model.
