Default Good shocks

I own a rubicon i love the stiffness of it. I am looking to raise it 2-3" i would like to go either fox or rubicon does anyone have any experience with them? I have watched videos where jeeps are bouncing all around and flipping. I really appreciate any advice.

Fox are great shocks! Rubicon Express shocks are gray Bilstein shocks I believe, I could be wrong. Both are good shocks.

My buddy loves his Fox 2.0 reservoir adjustable shocks. His rig is very capable of hauling ass off road.

You should goto a meet and see what people have and ride with them then you can see what you like. I have Fox Shocks and love them and they perform amazingly off road.

Stiff shocks are going to feel horrible off road. Especially if you try to drive Baja style... Out of your 2 options, the fox remote reservoir would be the better choice.

I run Fox 2.0 Remote Res shocks, they're awesome performers especially over fast/rough terrain.

Check out the reviews on the Bilstein 5160 reservoirs. They are par with the Fox.
