    I just bought OME from Independent 4X in Richmond. I haven't put them on yet but they came highly recommended (they basically only push Rancho's or OME). My decision was based mainly on the fact that I probably wouldn't mess with the adjustable feature of the Rancho's.

    BTW, the OME's were $100 each.

    If I recall correctly the gabriel Shocks are about 20 bucks each which is pretty cheap, I bought them back when I didnt have money when I was in college, installed them , worked great for about 20 thousand miles did a couple of off roading runs until one of them broke so I replaced all 4 of them take in consideration that I live in Mexico City full of potholes and bumps everywhere. They were great since I paid 100 dollars for all of them.
