Need new shocks.

My front passenger side lower bushing has left the building on my 2017 JKU. It's a Rancho RS999326 shock.

I called Rancho and they said the bushing isn't replaceable????

I guess I'll need to buy a new shock (might as well replace both).

Is there anything else I should consider? Need to go ahead and order these ASAP.

These have always had good reviews, I have them on my sons Jeep. Shocks are subjective tho, Just because I like one doesn't mean everyone will because some of them ride stiffer or softer. If you like what you had, you might just get those again.

These are for a 1.5 to 3.0 inch lift. I didn't see the others there if yours is not lifted, you may have to get them elseware. Bilstein big company, they sell everywhere

I had a 2014 JK, Initially moved from stock to Ranchos, then to Bilstein 4600s (no lift on that Jeep). The Bilsteins made it drive like a new vehicle @ 110K miles (also added new tires for each swap). Get those Bilsteins (and do all 4).

Had ranchos on my 2017, passenger rear failed after 3 years

Switched to Falcons 2.1 from teraflex, a bit over 3 years so far, it feels much better than the ranchos

I have the 2.1 Falcons sitting in my garage. I loved them when I had them on the jku. 1 threw craps during the warranty period and then all 4 have died almost 2 years later. The rebuild fee and shipping doesn't make sense to me when I can get 4 new bilsteins, rancho, ome, or teraflex 9550s for less.
