Would love to support the sponsors on this one but Bilstein 5100 Series Shocks are my choice. They definitely improved my ride

If you have bumpers and winch and want extra lift on the front, cant say how much lift you'll get but I got 1/2" lift outta my bilstein 5160s. I lost my rake just installing these...man they super nice!

X2 for Rancho! I've been running the 11" travel 9000s front and rear for a year and a half. With the fact they are adjustable, I run 1-2 on the highway and 5-6,7 on the trail. The stiffer setting reduces the side to side sway on trail. Good shocks.

Um, shocks will not lift or lower your jeep. You can take them off and it won't make a difference. Also that rear track bar bracket on your axle WILL tear your stock bracket on the axle right off. I've been there and saw a lot of others.
