Bilstein 5100's are a popular choice that most are really impressed with. I loved them when I had a set.

Sounds like incorrect bumpstop length. Are your front or rear shocks blown?

Love my OMEs too. One year in.


If you get the OMEs, i'd stress that the difference between their standard and Heavy Duty models is huge. Only get the HD if you've got or will get tons of steel mods, like front and back bumpers, trail armor, winch...

The trend here seems to be the Bills or the OME,,, I have experience with both, and I can tell you they both get 100% support from me. I dont think you can go wrong.
