I've had the original 2012 Rubicon shocks, Bilstein 5100's and just switched to King OEM Performance Series. Incredible shock... pricey but really really good. King Shocks Direct bolt-on performance shock kits for Jeeps from King Shocks « King Off-Road OEM Bolt-On Shocks : kingshocks.com
I just made several mods to make our Jeep a better daily driver and I think I'm done. It could not drive better, very happy with the outcome. FYI they are all listed on my profile.
Have a look, good luck with your change.

Personally I run Fox 2.0. May be a tad stiff, but perform awesome offroad. A lot of folks like the Rancho 9000 because of the adjustability. If you get a bunch of salt in your roads, they may rust on you, but it looks like you're Texas?

I run the OME shocks and they're great on and off road. From what I read about the 9000s, they seem pretty awesome. Either way, I don't think you could go wrong between the two.

I got Bilstein 5100's with my lift as I ran them on my truck and have not liked them at all. I plan on changing them out and have been looking at the Rancho 9000 XL's.

I'd definitely recommend the Rancho RS9000XLs...plus, Rancho usually has some sort of rebate or promo going on, so finding a great deal is no problem.
