I dont care much about on road feel, but how much better are the fox and or elka offroad compared to the bilsteins? What makes these better for rock crawling and or trail riding? Also, the fox are considerably cheaper than the elka, are the elka that much better?

im in the market for a new lift and love teraflex. having a two door, i feel the coil lift will be better because i get a higher lift and stiffer springs. i am undecided to get the lift with shocks(teraflex), or get it without shocks and order foxshocks. does anyone know how this lift is and/or how fox shocks will perform rather than the teraflex?? all pposts will be appreciated!!

I'll tell you this, Joe and I walked off and left a whole pack of jks in the desert washboards at 60-70mph. A guy behind me was running reg bilsteins, wayyyy behind, haha.I had to slow down and hang back for them to catch up several times. Also on poison spider my little girl fell asleep in the back of the jk for most of it, those shocks kill alot of bounce and rocking in the rocks. I personally don't see how you can get much better. It's helps you keep up with the coilover peeps.

The way Tera put it to me was that the fox were better for high speed whoops and stuff, stiffer on road. The Elkas give a better on-road ride and all-round performance off- road.

Yes they are as far as the reg bilsteins go. My first year in moab was running bilsteins, only got to do trails for 2days, felt like I'd been in a fight. This past year, 5days of trails, no beat up feeling, they rock in the rocks.

MKjeep loves his. Two buddies of mine have run them and like them. When I rode in a jeep that had them it appeared that their was much less body roll.
