The RSX's are nice since they are adjustable, if I'm not mistaken they are a bit cheaper then the Pro-Comp MX-6 adjustables.

I had them, they are Junk. If you want your Jeep to ride like a rv, then get them. I suggest you buy some Black Diamonds.

I have them on my ZJ. They're a pretty soft ride in my experience. I would of preferred to go with something a bit stiffer. But I'm happy with them.

Jeeples, RSX are not adjustable, RS9000X are.
If you want inertia valved shocks, get Edelbrock IAS, I've heard good things about them.
Anyway, adjustables rocks

There's no such thing as "auto adjust"- it works by inertia valve. You hit something hard, the piston moves fast, therefore the valve moves and changes the characteristics. But we can't call this adjustability, since they always work the same.

I meant Self Adjust,
Rancho RSX
Self-Adjusting Shocks
Shock Features:
Features exclusive reflex Technology (patent pending).
Self-adjusts to all terrain.
Increases off-road control without harshness.
Race-proven toughness and durability.
Designed to react in compression.
During aggressive hits in compression, patented reflex valve instantaneously opens.
While in reflex mode, oil flow capacity is increased, resulting in reduced harshness.
Reflex technology enables shock to be valved for greater control.
