I have already replaced the sway bar (Ron) and the handling is much better. For those of you that changed out 2010 Rt shocks for the 2011 Rt oem shocks, did you see much improvement or any at all? Most of the time I am a spirited driver and I still find myself slowing down in curves. It's okay but still a little body roll. I am ready to pull the trigger on new shocks. Also looking at the Elka's but can't justify spending money if I don't need to. Also any members using the relocator kit on stock shocks? Thanks!

I did the 2010 to 2011 exchange. Bought the shocks on ebay $50.00 shipped. They did makwe a differance, but adding the sway bar from Ron made the most differance.----Budro

What about the adjuster? Do I need to buy the 2011 adjuster or will the 2010 adjuster fit?

You don't need any adjuster to install the 2011/12 shocks on your 2010. It is an easy swap

No adjuster ring needed. I'll sleep on that overnight and perhaps order tomorrow. Oh yeah budro, you got lucky because I have not seen any on eBay! $83 bucks a piece new + shipping is not bad at all.Thanks for all the help!

If you buy complete units from someone, that would be all you need. If you buy the parts from BRP, you should get two each of:

706001059 Shock
706001061 Adjuster Ring
706001062 Ring Protector
