Anyone have an opinion and/or experience on either shocks. Thinking about getting a new set to replace my rubicon shocks to go with my 2.5 TF coil lift.

I have a 2012 JKUR with a 2.5" TG coil lift, shock extensions. This is my daily driver and will see maybe one trail a month. I've heard good things about both Fox and Bilstein shocks but am not sure if the Fox is worth the extra money. I've heard the Fox is a bit stiffer but I'm not real sure what that means?
Anyone have experience with these?

I was going to go with TF 2.5 Coil lift and Billsteins but saw a thread from ORW about a sale on the Fox 2.0 IFP shocks and went with them. I'll let you know what my experience is, they are set to arrive on Wednesday.

I've had both the Bilstein 5100's and currently running the 12" 2.0 FOX emulsion shocks.
The Bilsteins are a smoother ride, and if you do mild offroading, I'd advice to get those. The Fox shocks are stiffer, and perform better offroad.
The FOX's are adjustable as well as being rebuildable.
They are both great shocks, but for street driving, the Bilsteins are much smoother.

I recently had to get new shocks due to a 3.5" lift I imstalled. I went with the Fox 2.0's and they're great, but you can't go wrong with Bilsteins either. You win with either choice. I went with Fox only cuz the company I bought from carried the Fox shocks.

And this is why I am asking. Certainly seems to be a good price, but still more than the Billsteins. Please let me know what you think.
