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

In the front end couldn’t you have just lifted the control arm …take out the bolt and drop the control arm again and install the front shocks and repeat ?
Comment from : @tonyespinoza6649

Solid review tbh… the water in the cup showed a huge difference and you can even hear in car how less rattly it sounded… good stuff
Comment from : @GreenMonsterPuppet

Comment from : @ckreniso

You getting the RC trac bars?
Comment from : @Juanhundredand1

Crazy how much these went up in cost
Comment from : @saberflavor2592

Mine lasted almost 2 years before leaking out No way I would purchase again way to expensive for the short life
Comment from : @rockie307

If rough country sees this please do more for a 2003 dodge ram 57 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
Comment from : @chinito20fam

Lucky man i cant get them for my 2003 dodge ram😧😭😭 hesrd from a channel say that they outdo the fox shocks 20
Comment from : @chinito20fam

I’m looking at a 35” lift from rc and with those shocks there $1700 now🥲
Comment from : @rolandomartinez9299

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!
Comment from : @brentadamson8373

I love my Vertex on my 2021 Silverado Trail Boss
Comment from : @chucklitson2943

Your buddy Stan with the 18 inch lift, what lift kit is his truck using ?
Comment from : @losmoore3358

Do u know how long those Vertex shocks last ?
Comment from : @losmoore3358

So $1,40000 for all 4 Vertex shocks ? Why not the coilovers Vertex ?
Comment from : @losmoore3358

3 year warranty on rc vertex shocks They are not rebuildable unlike other brands
Comment from : @scottiescott480

Is that truck sick? Or just tons of money spent to make it basically unusable in every day circumstances I mean if car shows and trailering it home are your thing, more power to you, but I lifted my truck to go over bigger rocks And not no dang 20 inches or what ever the hell he said I only did a 3 inch lift, but hey Im modest brAlso by bumpy road, i thought he meant off road not a crappy pothole filed asphalt road Disappointed, gotta find a new review video with someone who uses their truck for truck things brAlso look at the tilt on those cv axels!!! Holy how! I bet in 4 wheel drive that thing pops like crazy If it's ever been in 4 wheel drive that isNo good man
Comment from : @mattpoulter3836

I love them but I don’t know why a 6 inch lift lowered my front end … my truck is higher in the back 🤦🏽‍♂️
Comment from : @riccochettv8638

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
Comment from : @jeffhudec8583

NO
Comment from : @bryontharp5790

Thank you how is the RC Vertex after 2 yrs? Do you still have them?
Comment from : @jonatbass1111

What website you buy them from?
Comment from : @Dguzmanid208

Have them! Awesome shocks
Comment from : @22787878

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 brbrMines 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
Comment from : @fabianlara5267

What upper control arms you have?
Comment from : @sergiosotojr

Holy cv axle angle💀
Comment from : @cameroneshleman4833

Are the Vertex coilovers and shocks rebuildable?????????? And are they aluminum bodied????
Comment from : @jeromeburrasca6710

Should I pull the trigger on a set of these over my current lifted struts 75 lift
Comment from : @matts53gmc

I got mine in late 2019 with the 35" 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)
Comment from : @danvincent6070

Hello JW Montoya I have 2020 Sierra Denali 2500 hd what kind of lifting kit you recommend I have in mind the Fox 20 with sumo spring in the back because I used my truck for heavy trailer construction can you help me out bud thanks
Comment from : @sergioromero6243

I have 2019 trailboss 6” lifting is fit the country rough vertex yuo recommended
Comment from : @alvaromendoza7080

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
Comment from : @jonathanthomas5261

i went from a 25 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
Comment from : @riced_532

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 37x1250 Pro Comp Extreme MT2 tires The lift kitehh 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
Comment from : @ohdeergod

rc is ass just get kings lol
Comment from : @BajaBangel

The Vertex shocks and coilovers are near-identical copies of Fox 25; 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
Comment from : @ShockSurplus

Enjoying the positive reports
Comment from : @brianspohn5963

This is awesome Vertex is a coming champion competitor
Comment from : @brianspohn5963

Fox is straight up garbage 🗑 now days I'm on my 3rd set in 2 years and they only offer 1 year limited warranty Rough country is far better than fox, king is king if you want to spend that money 💰 just stay clear of Fox!
Comment from : @Josh-yv3yf

1 cup vs 2 cups… issue number 1brbrIssue number 2 camera angle is entirely different brbrIssue number 3 zero off roading for consistent bouncingbrbrIssue 4 no clue if speed variables were exact
Comment from : @ccarpenter2k

I would have just cut the bolt
Comment from : @griseldapatino5442

vietnamme ?
Comment from : @cuongpham-hc9cg

How are those shocks holding up? I have the RC V2s on my F250 with RC 45 lift with 37 125 tires Thinking of bumping up to those Vertex
Comment from : @MrJuventino451

No hate But it makes me laugh to see how some trucks are built in different regions I grew up in FL and now live in utah Completely different builds and terrain Now I just imagine a huge lifted truck like that on a cliff side trail 00
Comment from : @aaron5222

@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
Comment from : @nickburlak1134

2:50 gots micro p written all over it Just ridiculous 🤣🤣
Comment from : @Mxl100

What size lift do you have? And what size wheels and tires?
Comment from : @davidibarra2667

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
Comment from : @lyledubois8969

Great review
Comment from : @jimjoost105

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
Comment from : @Dr_Swash_Buckler

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
Comment from : @--emt

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
Comment from : @josephkaufman8022

It not too expensive bro compare to other lift out there like fox and kings hella over price
Comment from : @tonydouangphachanh5343

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! brThanks 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
Comment from : @TheSolution44

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

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!!
Comment from : @nevadaboy9769

How are this after 8 months you still likening them would you Still recommend them
Comment from : @deysimedina1175

I don’t know I think it would have been cheaper to put a lid on the cup so u don’t spill the water
Comment from : @compachiwas9777

Can't wait to get mine
Comment from : @keepitreal5148

I don’t think that mechanical engineer testing shocks would use a cup of water in a cup holder you have no clue what you’re doing
Comment from : @Ram-re5em

Those wheels and tires combo are completely worthless there’s no sidewall flex you should always stay with a 70 or 75 series tire he might want to go to a real four-wheel-drive shop and figure things out the correct way
Comment from : @Ram-re5em

I would buy a ram 3500 or a Ford F3 50 and I would never buy the Chevy not with the suspension upfront that it comes with do you want a solid axle for strength you don’t want independent axle on a large truck
Comment from : @Ram-re5em

I’m going to use a king coil suspension lift for my truck I don’t want to ride rough
Comment from : @Ram-re5em

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)
Comment from : @spikes1905

Bro just go get kings 🤦🏻‍♂️
Comment from : @SKSK5052

Awesome video with a detailed comparison New subscriber here man
Comment from : @LivinWith3M

how you going to have a $90,000 truck and a $20 impact
Comment from : @mrnicetruck8504

It’s sad to see this done to these trucks…
Comment from : @drue6360

Junk junk junk
Comment from : @jamielafave5026

fox are good, but you gotta valve them for how you like
Comment from : @qxr20

Any experience taking it offroaf?
Comment from : @LiveMasTaco

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
Comment from : @AndresGutierrez-ej9ng

You ifs guys are crazy, I could never lift one
Comment from : @superdutyzack

bummer, i just called rough country and unfortunatly i cant upgrade to the vertex with the 7 inch lift lol
Comment from : @craig4926

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
Comment from : @Gen-X702

Have front and rear vertex on my truck and man Smooth ride! And they are massive and heavy af!
Comment from : @ModestCube100

3 is the perfect sitting thats what I use on my set
Comment from : @JJKuhaiki

I'm having the RC lift on my 2021 duramax next month On 37s x 125 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
Comment from : @seanroseman6768

Such a beautiful truck
Comment from : @hunterandersen5262

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
