I've been driving around for about 2 weeks now and they're absolutely worth the price tag!

Installed the rear shocks on my trailboss today. The fact that the dude compressed the shock with his bare hands is insane. I used a jack.

I've got them on my 21 denali black diamond and love them as well. Def worth it and makes a difference in ride quality.

I’m currently still awake at 4 in the morning watching a lot of your videos and I enjoy them man. I live in North Augusta as well it would be cool to see you around maybe collab or something 👍🏽

i went from a 2.5 inch level spacer to a 7 inch rough country with the upgrades struts and it was 100x better, i can’t imagine how good these ride

had my rough country 7 inch lift installed for 2 weeks now and it rides great with just the basic shocks and it rides equal to factory, will definatly switch to the vertex when the time comes!

I have a 6 in lift on my Ram and I’m sure other trucks are wondering how I’m able to fly down the freeway doing 100 mph without crashing. Also, they make turning veeerry smooth. These are well worth the money.

I got mine in late 2019 with the 3.5" Level kit. One of the rears came already leaking. I sent it back and they sent me two rears. That was a plus. The gas pressures according to RC are 100lbs. My fronts were both low (1 @ 50lbs & 1 @ 80lbs). I bought a King Shocks charge valve and reset the pressures. They are not bad but need just a touch more pressure (125lbs)

“So I reviewed OFF-ROAD shocks on the pavement “

Bro very nice video! I purchased a 4” RC lift kit and hated the shocks that came with it! The ride was so soft I was getting motion sickness from driving lol! It was very bouncy! So I did purchase the RC Vertex AND install them! What a difference they made. Even when towing my 26’ food trailer, the ride and handling is 100% better! Thanks for the video, I have mine set at 4! Oh I have a Black High Country 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 Gasser tuned with 3”true duals, sounds amazing and is pretty quick to be a big A** truck.

JW I just put those vertex coilovers on my 2017 GMC Sierra it’s a 3.5 in coil over kit. The ride is awesome worth the price

Most lift kits are relatively the same quality as long as they come with the applicable knuckles and you do not crank the lift via torsion bars or torsion bar keys , maintaining engineered cv and steering angles, HOWEVER, good musltistaged gas shocks with resevoirs make the world of difference in ride and suspension flex, that is the big money option most avoid and what differentiates performance suspension from a regular lift. Good video, idea of using water is good idea. I could tell difference when i upgraded shocks as you could travel offroad over obstacles and you were not being bucked out of the seat, feet were not bouncing away from the brake or gas pedal, and passengers didnt have to brace themselves off the headliner, hahaha

Glad they worked out for you!

I love the vertex system! Smooth ride on my 2015 gmc 1500! I agree though about fox. I wanted fox lift kit but I wanted smooth shocks or adjustable ones and I dont regret the vertex system!!

The ride is adjustable but where it really shines is when you get off road in a lot of continuous washboard where you need the extra travel and oil capacity for cooling and fade reduction. For your trailer queen its a little bit of overkill for your needs.

I'm having the RC lift on my 2021 duramax next month. On 37s x 12.5 all black. It has the yellow cabin lights and mirror lights. I'm adding yellow amber wheel well lights and two yellow amber lights on top of the black grill... Will look like snake eyes.

Turn the bolt around so the nut is on the cv side when you install it so you wont have that problem again! should have been installed like that to begin with!!

Definitely convinced me man. Just bought the shocks for my 08’ f250 4x4. Can’t wait to try them out!

Was thinking about getting some of these for my LMM and this video might’ve convinced me to do that over the fox 2.0s haha thanks for the video man keep up all the great work !

Really good shocks and they look great !!

I installed a 3:5 with the front N3 shocks and love the ride. But I’m sure those vertex ride even better

Perfect video exactly what I've been trying to figure out for my 6 inch rough country lift. Backs are shot. Good price for four Aswell I think I'll get those

If I get the 5 inch kit from rough country, could I upgrade later on to coilovers instead of these ? Or are the shocks the only option Mines a 2015 if that matters,budget building here ,and seen that coilovers would be my best bet ,as I like hitting the dunes and off-roading

What size tire rim set do you have on your dmax?

I love the shocks so far, definitely worth it! Installed with RC 5 inch lift on 2022 AT4 Duramax with Black Rhino Abrams wheels and 37x12.50 Pro Comp Extreme MT2 tires. The lift kit..ehh not so much. Ive only had it on 6 months or so, no real off road to speak of. Its developed a rattle in the left front when going over small repeated bumps that I think might be the sway bar end links. The ones that come with the kit are laughable. Like pencils with ball joints on each end. The truck has less than 8k miles on it. The kit has about 5k miles on it. Ive ordered Kyryptonite UCA's and sway bar end links that will be powder coated to match the truck. Hoping that resolves the rattle. Seems a lot of folks have the same left front rattle after lifting these trucks.

Should I pull the trigger on a set of these over my current lifted struts 7.5 lift

Awesome video with a detailed comparison. New subscriber here man.

That’s a beautiful looking shock👀👌🏾💯

I came across your videos recently, surprised to see most were done in Augusta. I stay right across the river in NA. I just got me the same truck you got in a 2021. About to do a 4in Cognito Performance Lift with 37 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Everything is on order right now.

Just ordered the 5 inch lift with Vertex for my 2022 at4 2500 duramax :D

great video man, my 2021 getting the 7 inch RC kit installed monday, cant wait!

How are those shocks holding up? I have the RC V2s on my F250 with RC 4.5 lift with 37 12.5 tires. Thinking of bumping up to those Vertex.

The Vertex shocks and coilovers are near-identical copies of Fox 2.5; body, piston design, shaft size (but not hardness), but oil quality and seals are on the budget side of things, no rebuild kits, but you could probably use fox kits to rebuild the Vertex parts.

Is the ride quality soft or is it firmer.? I do a lot of highway driving and road driving .I want something to take the potholes and bumps better without being a" stiff ride" that jerks my head every direction.

I have the vertex should on my 1500 and love them I run mine on level 2 in the rear and level 5-6 in the front for daily driving. But I stiffen the rear when towing a trailer

What size lift do you have? And what size wheels and tires?

3 is the perfect sitting thats what I use on my set

I wonder who they contracted to make their bypass shocks.

Just had the 8 stage vertex lift kit installed on my jeep, they cost an arm and a leg but they are worth every penny to be honest, best thing I’ve seen rough country release (shock related)

Thank you.. how is the RC Vertex after 2 yrs? Do you still have them?

Changing shocks and upper control arms and ball joints

How did y’all get a rendering made

Can't wait to get mine

I have a 10 inch fabtech dirt logic coilovers with a 4 link for my 2014 f250. I just replaced the rear shocks with these and I am impressed that they ride better then the rear fabtech shocks.

All you need is a jack take the tire off take a impact take the cv but out the cv axel slides out and then you can get to the shock bolt

I’d say go w the rc lift and upgrade to some bilsteins! That would be sick Especially w some dual shocks omg dream

I’ve been watching many videos on a lift kits. question: does anyone know what is the best most reliable lift kit for a “21” GMC 3500 HD 4WD Duramax, I only want to go 3 or 4 inches

What shocks did you us for the front? RC shows front for 999

I have the Vertex Coilover's on my 2013 Chevy silverado and the rear adjustable.. Great quality and really great ride!!!

Bought a 3500 High Country (2021) and had the option of installing a lift. Decided to go with a BDS, 5.5’” high clearance lift. Why? Kind of get what you pay for. And for a truck that comes with a hefty price, might as well match it with a reliable, high quality, proven set up. But personal preference aside, that’s one good looking rig you’ve got there.

Good content!

Hopefully you re inserted the shock bolt the other direction for future installs

Great review

@JW Montoya Hey man, its been a year how is it going with these shocks ? Also I see you've got same tires as I do, my road noise is huge I'm thinking between replacing tires or noise insulating a truck, how is your road noise? Ive got same truck.

It’s funny I just bought new tires and upgraded my 7in lift with these shocks for the rear and the front. Won’t know anything until next week!

On the old shocks did you got a vibrating sensation on your brain even if you where driving on a smooth road?

What website you buy them from?

Such a beautiful truck

Hey bro whats your wheel specs

I love my Vertex on my 2021 Silverado Trail Boss

This is awesome Vertex is a coming champion competitor.

What upper control arms you have?

Any experience taking it offroaf?

Can you just the height to 8” on these?

Have them! Awesome shocks

Bro thats wild AF. Fox shocks are where its at.

If rough country sees this please do more for a 2003 dodge ram 5.7 hemi gas. Quad cab.. well be getting the 6 inch lift from of course rc but if they had the coilovers for them front and back. Trust me i wouldnt purchase any other brand..

Compared to the competition they are a bargain plus they come with a 3-year warranty where others only have a one year warranty.

So far from rough country it's not that it's just budget it's cheaply made lift kits And coming out with new shocks and sticking a high price tag on them doesn't make them good. So I do appreciate the review to see what people think about the new shocks and if they are worth that price tag

@JW Montoya I am 15 about to get my permit. I have a hand me down 2000 chevy silverado. What are some mods that you can suggest me to do to it

Have you tired the fox 2.0 adjustable reservoirs?

Are the Vertex coilovers and shocks rebuildable?????????? And are they aluminum bodied????

Run them. Definitely worth the $$$. I'd buy another set in a heart beat.

How did you pay $1400 for two vertex shocks and two vertex struts? I paid $1200 just for the struts and $900 for the shocks with a total of just under $2400 with tax.

Your buddy Stan with the 18 inch lift, what lift kit is his truck using ?

Can you put vortex shock on 1500 denali truck since its has magneride system??

where did you get all (front and back) for 1400 ? I can only find the front for $1100 and rear for $799

I run vertex on my 6" bds lift... heard bilstien makes these for rc? Anyways these coils are good to go

Do u know how long those Vertex shocks last ?

I have 2019 trailboss 6” lifting is fit the country rough vertex yuo recommended

Hello JW Montoya I have 2020 Sierra Denali 2500 hd what kind of lifting kit you recommend I have in mind the Fox 2.0 with sumo spring in the back because I used my truck for heavy trailer construction can you help me out bud thanks

That water sure looks tasty.

In Missouri shops seems like theres no lift kit that does 12 or more invh lift. Strange cause this Missouri is where the legend truck BIG FOOT lives.

Time for some Kings!

I love them but I don’t know why a 6 inch lift lowered my front end … my truck is higher in the back 🤦🏽‍♂️

Saws all hacksaw blade cut bolt head off push through other side. Shorter grade 6 bolt with lock nut. Not nylon go to hardware store they will have all metal lock nut that is crimped. Good luck luck man.

All the Bilstein 5100 shocks only go to 2.5” but I have a 6” lift on my truck. So I guess I can’t go with those shocks?

Crazy how much these went up in cost

This...right here...is my......swag

Mine lasted almost 2 years before leaking out. No way I would purchase again way to expensive for the short life.

That's a good price

I like how you said $1,400 for all four but it but if it was $1,400 for one then I'm not messing with it.

Wonder if they will work with my 9 inch Mcgaughys 🤔?

I’m going to use a king coil suspension lift for my truck I don’t want to ride rough

That CV Axel Angel looks to be not ideal your CV Boots looks to be pinched. I wouldn't be surprised if you wear out and or snap your CV axel.

Why didn’t you just remove lower bolt for shock extension bracket

How are this after 8 months you still likening them would you Still recommend them

Lucky man i cant get them for my 2003 dodge ram😧😭😭 hesrd from a channel say that they outdo the fox shocks 2.0

Hey jwmontoya nice video how much did rough country pay you to say you only payed $ 1,400 for the set of vertex shocks and struts are was that a mistake

Nice
