Default Fox or Old Man Emu

I am going to be upgrading my shocks and wanted to know what I should use. I am using my jeep as a DD and with a bunch of beach driving. Dont need anything crazy but I would like a better ride. (rides kinda bouncy now) I do have Teraflex coil spring leveling kit on it now.

I have a 3 inch OME lift. The shocks ride nice but I was actually thinking of upgrading to fox shox and get bar pin eliminators cause they have become a little noisy.

X3 on Elkas. Waisted a bunch money on other shocks. These have made me love the way the load range e toyos ride now. Off-road they shine like a a mofo. At the end of the day I didn't feel all beat up like with previous shocks. And to add after almost a month after having these, I still feel the on-road difference. I smile even bigger now when I drive my jeep. IMO this is the best suspension mod I've done.cheap?no. Worth it? Hell freakin yeah!
