I just put in my Old Man Emu N86 rear shocks. I am very happy with them and the install was easy and straight forward. They are firmer than stock but not too firm, they greatly improve handling and stability over bumps. I am very happy I went with these instead of the HD Bilstein's because if the ride were firmer I don't see how that would help anything. So for all you kids out there that are debating what rear shock, this is the one!
