I removed my 2.2 shocks and put on OME's. It was like driving a whole different jeep after the change. Great ride compared to the 2.2's. I'm still using the 2.5 RC coils, progressive fronts, non-progressive rear. I wish I had made the change a year ago.

The fox 2.0's are $189.00 a pair but the fox piggy back reservoirs are 189.00 a piece at least that is what I paid to get them from ORW...

I've got RC 2's right now as well, they feel damn rough to me as their name implies but I haven't compared them to anything else yet. Have a set of 4 brand new TF Elkas waiting to be put on, will report back when they are even though they are crazy expensive and out of your budget.

I hear good things about the Teraflex Gas Shocks, and at only around $250 for a set of 4 from Northridge, I don't think you can beat that.

Just swapped out Bil 5100"s for the 5160 series... So far worth the money - and looks! Seems to hold corners better the the 5100's!

Thanks for all the input guys. Pulled the trigger on FOX shocks. Quadratec gave me a decent deal with discount/free shipping after a phone call. I will let you know the difference. They should arrive today.
