Reviews for Quadratec Maximum Duty Nitro 8.0 Shock Kit for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
As of yet I have not found any products with the Quadratic name on them that I'm not happy with, these shocks are no exception.
I replaced 7 year old OEM shocks with 86k miles on them, so far these are better than the OEM when they were new. The ride is a little stiffer then I'm used to but it's not bad. I'll get used to it eventually.
They were relatively easy to install. Took about two hours with a few coffee breaks in there, I was in no hurry got to spend some quality time with my son.
Bushings were a little tight going in, so I put dish soap on them and it helped, would be nice it they came assembled.
All in all great shocks, easy install, even for someone like me who is fairly mechanically challenged.
Ride feels nice, I was still rocking my stock '13 rubi shocks, so this was a way overdue upgrade. I read the instructions and had no issue getting the shocks assembled and installed. I don't have a vice, so I just used my large C clamp from my brake jobs and that was perfect.
So far so good. Easy install in my garage. Heavier duty than OEM, better ride.
These shocks ride better than OEM. My Rough Country shocks went out and these are MUCH better replacements.
Was a little stiff at first for my wrangler jk 3.7L engine but rides very smooth after the first rock crawl. had them for about 6 months now. perfect for my 6" lift with 35s
Better ride than stock
fantastic difference, I have a lot more control on and off road, easy installation and looks great!
Great product , for a great price I would buy them again
Was going to give 4 stars but after the customer service I received went with 5. Ordered the shocks on Wednesday and got them on Thursday. Great shipping speed. Unfortunately the rear shock bar pins were wrong. Spoke with customer service and he overnighted one replacement bar pin. My drivers rear shock had blown out and the Jeep was down. He also sent out replacement with expedited shipping on the other. The fronts feel great. The ride is much better than I expected for the price.
Just installed on a 2007 4 door Wrangler - had original shocks with Teraflex leveling kit. Dramatic improvement in firmness of ride and handling both off road and on - also reduced body lean. Definitely recommend.
