Default What shocks should I get??
I have the teraflex leveling kit on my '08 jk x, and I want to upgrade to nicer shocks. I don't want to use any shocks like rubicon or anything. I want something like bilstein or an equivalent. What do y'all suggest? Thanks!

Go with some 5100's they are a good entry level shock at a decent price.

You can get the Bilstein 5100 for 0" lift. Just talk to your parts supplier.

I've seen the Teraflex shocks for about $20 per shock cheaper, but are they really comparable to the Bilsteins?

Everybody in my club has them and they highly recommend them. I think they ride great and I'm going to get a set once I save enough.
