How about Rancho RS5000? Seem to be reasonable - $42 each. OME's are double, pro comp don't get a great review.

Anyone like the Ranchos?

Ranchos do not last that long,but pretty decent shock. Rust out quick.
Remember you get what you pay for.
Sky jacker makes a decent shock I have the nitros on my CJ, decent inexpensive.

I have the Rancho 5000 on mine and like them fine. When I bought them they were buy 3 get one free so I go the set for about $120. I also helped install some Rough Country ones on a buddy's Jeep and could not really tell the difference between the two. No rust here.
