Question M-Force Shocks

I was wondering what your experiences are with the M-Force shocks are they Softer, Smoother, Or more Bumpy Harsh etc... than the stock Shocks.

In my opinion, the M-Force shocks are firmer than the factory Sahara or X shocks but a tad softer than the Rubicon high pressure monotubes. Needless to say, if you have a Sahara or X, your ride will firm up a bit (and in a good way if you ask me) and if you have a Rubicon, it will feel a bit more comfortable on the highway.

I installed the M-Force Gas Monotubes with my 2"FT BB on a Sahara Unlimited and they are noticably firmer than stock. If you want to maintain the softer/cushier ride you may not like the shocks. I personally like the firmer ride which seems like a good combination with the factory springs. Makes for a nice setup.

Now when you say noticeably firmer ... do you mean TOOTH JARRING firm, uncomfortable or better handling and do you think If I get m/t this would soften the ride a bit?

Haven't installed the BFG MT KM's yet - they come next for me. The shocks will lessen body roll over stock and are "not" bone jarring stiff. Highway is smooth as silk and bumps are more firm but not jarring. No wheeling test yet but soon. They should be great off road. You certainly will notice a difference but it's not a harsh ride at all. Mount the cans up with the boots down at the bottom. I don't have experience with the tires you are getting.

Talking

The feeling I got from this Forum was that most people using the M-Force shocks loved them, I would like to hear why...

I installed the m-force on mine. The ride is smoother and I have much more control and a better feel. My ride is softer then before to me.
