If they have the same model number then they will be the same.
REPCO = Rip every poor c&*t off!!!!! :wink:
It sounds like a salesperson is talking shit to make a sale without giving it to the opposition.

But thats only my experience.

Another thing is I'm not really a big fan of KYB (even though I am running one in the back of my truck because I bent a Rancho :oops: :oops: ) They (KYB) are very hard on compression and don't really offer alot of travel.

rancho well ive had nothing but bad experiences with them like braking the top eyelet(driving over a judder bar??????????),shearing the top thread aswell.this could of been defects but its strange how its happened with 2 sets ive purchased....(if i havent owned em i wont knock em)but to me ranchos are about as good as a fkn C12 CAT AND ARE BUILT LIKE ISPUZUS GIGAS.

I scored a set of OLd Man Emu shocks for my Rugger and they are fantastic,reduced body roll and inproved cornering and general stability.
And OFF ROAD they seem bloody good too... :D

Loving it...
