Alright guys, I am in dire need of some new shocks and I have no clue where to start in terms of brands. Got about 2.5-3" of lift, and while I don't want to get killed on the highway, ride quality isn't as important to me as longevity and off-road performance. Let the suggestions begin!

 

Voted, but REALLY bias...

 

If you want ride quality and longevity look no further than King Shocks. These shocks will last the life of your vehicle. Unlike many shocks on the market they can be rebuilt for a fraction of the cost buying new. The other advantage to the King shocks is the valving. If your not happy with the ride (want stiffer or softer) they can be revalved by King to match your needs.

We do carry EVO Spec King shocks to make your JK ride smooth!

Rancho's 9500 shocks ride nice as well

 

What size King's would you suggest, just out of curiosity???

 

o.m.e has a nice ride

 

Your right in the middle of the shock ranges, The 3-5" shock should work fine


EVO: King Shocks, Jeep JK 2.0 Internal Reservoir Front Shocks

 

If you have the $$$$ definately go for the King's- awesome! I use the popular Bilstein 5100's for a very nice ride on and off road.

 

True, the Bilstein 5100 is a nice shock. however when it blows out it goes straight in the trash. They can not be rebuilt. The Kings will be the last shock you buy.

Another thing to think about is, Your spending all this money on a JK to build it up. Why go cheap on the one of the parts you use everyday. One that can make a big difference in your ride.

 

I don't have experience some may but the bilstein 5100's have worked great for me with a 2.5" lift

 

i would suggest fox... i like mine but its all about the coils for ride comfort and i can't wait to till the 3" EVO plush coils come out!
