So I bought my jeep with a 2.5 in skyjacker lift and I'm not impressed with the ride. I was looking at maybe teraflex 9550 VSS shocks Would they help with the ride and be a better shock overall? Plus if so can I just switch them out without buying anything else? Or are there better options without spending a lot of money? Also I know its a jeep and its not going to be a perfect ride so please keep your smartass comments about the rough ride to yourself

 

Check out the Rancho RS9000XL's They are sold individually as well as with their lift kits. These shocks are adjustable and offer a really great ride. Good luck in your choice.

 

I'll check those out. Thanks!

 

Or check out the Bilstein 5100's. Quite a few people have had great luck with those shocks, and they aren't terribly expensive either.

 

I am interested in new shocks as well. My dad's rubicon with over 115k on his stock shocks rides so smooth. Mine is bone jarring compared to his.

I wonder, is it easy to swap shocks out? Or do you have to remove the coils to do it? I am thinking about Bilstein 5100's since they would work with my 2" BB.

 

So I'm checking out the Rancho 9000 and the options are 0-2" lift or 4". I'm assuming the 4" is definitely too long, but is the 0-2" shock too short??

 

A lot of people on here use and love Bilstien shocks. I had Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks on my '78 Cherokee for many years and absolutly loved them. Even after putting 11 leaf springs under the front axle. doh!

 

There is a Rancho rep on the forum. PM him to get some assistance on the size ranges. You never know, he might even get you some better pricing. Here is a link to his profile.

I just got some procomp mx 6 adjustable and I love them so far , my ride before was stiff as hell now I can hit bumps and non smooth roads and barly feel them , in the front I am running them in the middle it's a little soft but my body and my wife likes the ride so much better

 

The rancho 2" shocks are the same size as stock. The 4" are really suited to a 2-3" lift. They have a longer set for their 4" long arm kit. The Bilsteins 2" shocks is about 25" (625mm) extended, the Rancho 4" front is about 1/4" longer as well (635mm) , and the rear is just short of 26" (654mm). They are a good size for a 2 - 3" lift.
The OME's will either be to short or to long for a 2" lift, however they are about to release a mid length shock at about 26" in length.
