I went with the Fox Resi shocks and they are the absolute worst shocks I have ever owned. My Jeep rides so bad the wife doesn't even want to be in it, and my poor dogs (This is my 3rd lifted JK Unlimited). The ride is so rough, its almost like I am just riding on springs, no shocks at all. Riding on the freeways in L.A. and you piss blood when you get out of the thing.
I am having my shop yank them out and send them back to Fox for a re valve. How Fox let them leave the factory with this valving is beyond me. It cant be RK springs and I am running a Load D tire vs a load E and have tried ALL different kind of pressures. If Fox cant get them right I will go with King Adjustables, the ride is really that bad. I would take a look at the RRD shock's, I wish I had.

I already talked to RK and they say its definitely the shocks. They said the long arm wouldn't make that much of a difference in ride on road. I've had a bunch slammed Vettes/Vipers with very little suspension travel that road much better, it definitely feels like the shocks to me.

I love my 5100's. i wouldn't change to a different shock. They have a better ride quality than anything I've experienced on & off road (rubicon express, OME, rusty's, fox and coil overs). I'm running a RK 3.5 on my 2 door on 35 KM2's.
