So I picked up a set of shocks and springs from a Launch Edition. The seller was very upfront and told me one shock was missing the top seal. He gave me a very good deal on the package. So now I have some choices. Do I.......

A. Just install the Rubicon springs with my Willys shocks and call it a day
B. Install the Fox shocks and hope for the best
C. Try somehow to find a single used Fox shock
D. (Insert your suggestion here)

Is there really a drastic difference between the Willys reds and the Fox shocks?

This is the seal that's missing

Just buy one new shock or see if fox can repair it for you

I'm pretty sure I could buy a whole set of take-off shocks and springs for the price of a new shock. That's always an option too. But then I have to try to flip three shocks and springs. Lol

What the hell did they do to that shock?! Pass on using it. Those shocks aren't that expensive from Fox to be worrying about one with a missing seal and scratches all over where the seal should be. Try and get one from mopar parts or something.

These have 12k miles on them. Is it going to make a difference putting a single brand new one on?
