Shock upgrade
Just looking for back up to my almost made up mind of what shocks to go with...
I am unhappy with the shocks I have on my JK now, and am looking to upgrade to a better set up.
I am looking at the Fox JK 2.0 IFP shock, I feel I don't really need to go with the remote res. shocks but am looking at a much better shock than I have...
I'm getting a bunch of body roll and "twitching" on road with the shocks I have now, I feel my springs more than I should,,, off road they are not too bad, but I feel they could be better!!
Does any body out there run these?
Can anybody give me some input about this shock? Or maybe a reason to spend even more $$$ for the remote res. shocks???
My Jeep is a go everywhere, do everything jeep, D.D. and toy... so an all around really good shock is what I am looking for...
Thanks....

Unless you are going to drive off road for extended periods where the shocks really need to dissipate a lot of heat, you don't need the remote reservoirs.
The Fox shocks are great but they tend to ride because the valving has a bit more of an off road bias. If you want a great dual purpose shock with excellent road manners I recommend the Bilsteins.
