Hoping to get some feedback on which rear shocks to get to replace my worn out Rough Country ones. I'm torn between the Bilstein 5100's and the Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport Shocks. They're the exact same price ($109 each) from northridge.ca. I also have a 4" lift, if that has any bearing. Thanks in advance!

I think you will find you can't go wrong with either shock. They are very comparable an good all around shocks.

Fwiw I went with bilstien

Everyone I know and converse with runs bilsteins. I do have 5-6 buggy crawler friends and they also run either bilsteins or fox shocks which are ridiculous expensive, but worth every penny. I've heard nothing but good things about the old man emu shocks as well and of course I run bilsteins on my rig. Either way, both shocks will be suffice. May come down to color and look that you want lol

Thanks for the quick replies guys! I have actually been thinking that the Bilsteins will look better on my rig than the yellow OME's.

I have the bilsteins as well and love them..

Yep, very happy with mine as well. But if color is really a concern....

How long did the Rough County shocks last you?

I've had the lift on for 2 years and I think the shocks have been gone for several months. Really rough ride as of late.
