Default Shocks? Any suggestions?

I am looking to get some new shocks for my 07 JK WRANGLER. I am looking around for a good off road performance shock. Any suggestions?

How good? King, Bilstein, and Fox are well known performance brands.

Bilstein 5100, reasonably priced and a good all around shock.

For the JK platform I would look to our very popular RS9000XL, this is an adjustable shock, that allows you to have the ride you want from soft to firm.
Our RS7000MT, is a monotube design, that offers a firm ride that eats up "junky" El Paso County roads. And does amazing off road as well.
We offer from stock to lifted as well.

We threw a set of the Rancho 7000mt's on my dad's F250.. Made a HUGE difference in ride quality. I'd love to get a set for my Jk .

The 7000's are such a re great shock, especially when valved for a 3/4 ton truck. Did you cut the strap before install by chance? I did, learned my lesson on that one shock. LOL!
