Default New shock recomendations

Ive been looking at grtting new shocks i have the rancho 9000 but not really very happy with them im deciding between the bilstein 5100, Fox 2.0, or the old man emu equivalent to the bilsteins ( don't remember what they are called) any help would be great.
Thanks
Sam

Im running fox 2.0's and love them. Much better than stock. Plus they look sick.

What kind of wheeling? Just a DD?
What are the specs on your jeep?
What don't you like about the 9000’s?

x2 and why are you not happy? I love my 5000X's but they should be similar to what your 9000's are on setting 6.

If under 90 days return for a refund.
The 5000X will be similar to the OME shock.
The Bilstein and Fox 2.0 are a montube style like our RS7000MT.

Good luck

you will need to answer the question what don't you like about them in order to get a good recommendation for replacement and how many miles do you have on them?
