Poll: Replacement Shocks
« on: August 19, 2010, 12:20:07 PM »
Looking for input on some replacement shocks for a '02 TJ w/4" lift. Replacing some cheapo monotubes.

Goal is for on road manners more than offroad-ability. Budget 4-500

Your input is appreciated.

Second on the Bilsteins.   Or just throw caution to the wind and go coil over ;)

Can't say from experience, but I've seen a lot of good things about Bilsteins.  8)

I have only ever used OMEs and I like them.  Their components are very well designed, but if I were to go with anything else, I would probably look at bilsteins
