We offer various shocks for the JK platform.

I prefer either the 7000 monotube or the RS9000XL adjustable shocks.
A lot of the JK owners like the adjustability of the 9000's.
Made in the USA.
Lifetime warranty
90 day ride free ride offer.
Good luck in your search.
Are you guys also doing a sale on your lift kits and if so, what's the good kit to get?

I have a 2012 2 door rubicon.

Thanks, OB

What are your end goals for wheeling? What size tires too? Look to a 3" SPORT or TRAIL system. Also be aware you will need to address your exhaust too, there are options from $50-60 to $400.

I like the TRAIL because it is a "more complete" system for the JK.

120 KM per day 5 days a week on major Canadian highways....well maintained.

Thanks, checking your web site now on specs for the 9000s.

I had to google the km to miles..... Let me know on the 9000's I think they would be a perfect fit for that drive.

I noticed at TDS on the obstacle course that my jeep is not nearly as capable as I thought.

Looking to run prob 35's maybe 37's.

Wanting more Offroad capability without sacrificing too much on road.

What's the pros & cons of long arm vs short arm?

Thanks, OB

I ran JKS JSPEC springs with stock Rubicon shocks (w/ extensions) for about a year before putting on the Bilstein 5100s. The Bilsteins have a stiffer ride for sure. The bumps and pot holes I roll over in the city streets are a lot firmer and jarring now. The adjustable Ranchos are probably a good choice for lots of street driving.

I have no complaints with the Bilsteins off-road though, for what it's worth.
