I need help on picking a set of shocks, i plan to make a choice and buy a set tomorrow I've been waiting around on it too long. My shocks on my 2012 jk right now are crap they are bleeding and rough country so i know any one will be wayyy better but looking to start upgrading and wanna do it all right the first time. its between the Fox Racing Front 2.0 Factory Performance Series Remote Reservoir Shock, and Jeep JK 2.0 Internal Reservoir Shocks KIT from Evo. And if i go King am i right with getting the 3-5 inch when have a 2.5 on but looking to go 4 soon. Thanks

 

They both do the same thing, why can't you choose? I would measure your current extended and compressed lengths to determine what lenght shocks to by. Don't buy them by lift ranges get them to fit what you have.

 

Two words of advice : GET ADJUSTABLES. I have the Kings and am done for life.

 

Kings for sure nothing against fox but I just went from them to king and I love them. I did however do the coilover setup from evo and wow should have done this first what a ride.

 

I heard good things about Elka shocks

you can get them valved by terraflex specs

They would be my first choice

 

I would ask what kind of driving you do. Kings is a lot of money just for a daily driver. Just bout anything is going to be an improvement from rough country. I run fox n2.0 performance only because they cost me the same price as what I sold my bilsteins for. I had a pair of front king 2.5 resi that I got for next to nothing and actually swapped back to my fox cause the ride was no different if not rougher actually.

 

You can get fox valves by teraflex also.

 

Any of the shocks mentioned can be valved however you want them.

 

Definitely go for the kings with adjusters no need mess with other brands and have them valves to a fixed setting. I love my king shocks on and offroad they are in the top 3 mods I done to my jeep if not the top. I got mine with RK coils and the ride is amazing.

 

Its my daily, but like i said i am finally at the point were I'm about to jump into a lot of upgrades and just wanna do it right to start wheeling her
