Time for new shocks - your pick for DD?
My wife's DD is a 2012 4d sport. It's got 89k and time to replace shocks. Jeep is used 99% on road as a daily to work. The 1% is dirt road at our camp. No wheeling at all planned. We upgraded the tires to cooper 275s to get a beefier look in April, and now want to do shocks. Don't want anything harsher than stock, but figured I'd post to see if anyone has suggestions on a solid shock that is good for ON road use? My search only showed lifted jeep shocks.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks dirtman. I drove it 150 miles this weekend and they seem worn out going over bumps in road, not tracking the vehicle the way I'd like. I want the JK to be as safe as possible for her. I don't mind going aftermarket but I want the best ride experience I can get for her.

I like the rubicon shocks. you can usually find then for sale as takeoffs from someone who upgraded to a lift. the ride a little stiffer than stock but handle better onroad and offroad IMO

After some research, I ordered the 4600 series from Bilstein, made for non-lifted Jeeps. This will giver her solid handling on the road. I used acrid.com, as they were $20 cheaper there per shock than I could find anywhere else. I'll let you know what I think next week.
