Interesting concept.

I can only see one issue and that is shock length. Can you get a shock that can handle that much travel from full down to full up?

Their picture shows the adjustment ring all the way up, lowering the car while not retracting the bump stop, that ought to make it ride nice. NOT! God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com

IMHO these are only worthwhile if you can adjust them from the driver's seat.

I can see a couple of problems with cranking those things up and down.

Its going to mess with your alignment. But probably not too big of an issue off road.

Cranking them up is going to require you to lift 1/4 of the weight of the vehicle. Add friction to the equation and you're going to need a fairly long lever to accomplish your goal.
The thread looks fairly fine which means its going to take a lot of turns to make any difference.

There isn't a lot of room in a TJ's wheel well to be turning these things up and down.

I think idea is good in principal, but not very practical. Air bags might be better, like this:
