Default Stock shocks replacement

Guys, I need your advice!

What are the best shocks that can replace the stock ones without lifting the JK?

The stock rear shocks need more rebound damping for sure- I would say Bilstein 5100s(if your not going to modify the suspension any time soon).

I've got only 8.000 miles but the shocks already have a very bad rebound damping.

I was thinking about Rancho RS9000, but my dealer says that the quality of Ranch products has decreased recently.

Exactly! The rebound damping of the shock front shocks is also awful (at least in my case).

Shocks that come on the 2-door Rubicon are good . Maybe you can get a set that someone took off to do a lift.
