I am running a Rough Country 2.5 coil lift with AEV geometry brackets on my JKU. Overall the ride is pretty good, but I get a little side to side bounce coming out of turns and over some road bumps. Would a set of Bilstein 5100's cure the problem? The springs seem to be about right as the ride is smooth and I have just about the right amount of lift. Not knocking the Rough Country Shocks as they have been better than expected. Just wondering what the improvements would be just by swapping them out.

 

Good question. Im gonna subscribe to see what opinions are provided. I am looking for a new lift now. I was told the best thing you can do for the coils, just about any brand, is get the best shocks you can afford. I was told that shocks make all the difference. So, I think im going with bilsteins with whatever coils I end up getting. Subscribed.

 

I am still running the stock tires on spacers so I can feel changes. I am just trying to get everything dialed in before throwing some bigger rubber underneath where I may not be able to feel what is going on with the suspension.

 

We've had great luck with the Rancho RS9000XL shocks. They're adjustable plush to firm (1-9) so you can really dial in to your liking. I run them on my JK and TJ - 100% happy with both vehicles performance.

We offer a N2.0 shock that would be a good change for your Jeep. The 2.2's are a beefy shock that are designed for rugged use. If anything I'd say they are to aggressive for daily use. The N2.0 shock is nitrogen charged and specifically for your Jeep. If I can help you more feel free to call me or shoot me a pm.
