Default Stock shock to aftermarket

Have another question. Have a 13 2 dr that purchased used. Everythung loos to be stock when i recieved. Looking to possibly upgrade the shocks but have no clue what to buy. Jeep is a little taller than a regular stock jeep woth 32s and plently of clearance. Stock rims etc. The shicks still have factory stickers on them Front has 186AA stickers and rears have 186AA stickers. Real real soft ride want something just a tad stout really rolls around corners. If tou can point in the correct direction I would be greatful. Thanks

Most shock manufacturers make their shocks for 0-2" FYI, so any stock shock will work.
A lot of people like our RS9000 adjustable shock. With the turn of a knob you can adjust from a soft to a firm ride.
Another popular option is a monotube shock, this will really firm up the ride, but be aware some people DO NOT like the firmness of a high pressure monotube shock. Thankfully on both our monotube and the adjustable shock, they both come with our 90 day Ride and Performance guarantee. If you aren't happy return them in the first 90 days for a refund.
Good luck in your search!

I have the Rancho 9000's and love them. Have them both set on 5 right now and it rides fine. Once winter is gone may bump the fronts up and see what it feels like.

I'm going to agree with the Rancho's, but suggest the Rancho 7000 (Sorry Guys, I love my 7000's though! )

Good point! I just came off about 3 or so years running these on work/personal JK. It took me a bit to get used to the "softeness" of the 9000's after the "firmness" of 7000's. Both a great shock.

I made the mistake of getting a ProComp lift when I was on a budget, I should have waited and bought something nice to begin with. I hated the ProComp shocks and quickly moved to Bilstein 5100's and am much happier.
