I am running a rough country 4" lift with the 2.2's and I gotta say, they are firm. I feel most bumps

Looking for recommendations for compatible shocks that would give me a softer, yet good handling ride.

Thanks

 

I've heard Bilstein gives you the best of both worlds. Those are the ones I'm gonna get when i change mine out. I'm running the same as you at the moment and i tend to agree they're a little harsh.

 

unfortunately, a lot of ride quality comes from spring rate. while i'm sure your shocks aren't helping, even getting nicer shocks may not help too much. if you're gonna try something, i would stay away from high end shocks like elka or king as they are geared more for soaking up high speed bumps. i might try a set of bilstein 5100's but again, it's hard to soften up a firm riding coil.

 

Rancho 9000XL's are nitro charged and adjustable. They come with a lifetime warranty and 90-day ride guarantee. I have them on my 2012JKUR at the #5 setting, and the beast rides better than my bosses Escalade.

 

Ranchos are pretty cheap too aren't they? Or am I thinking of a dif kind.

 

Well let me know how u find the difference if u swap them out before I do. I will do the same!

 

Let me know what you guys find out. Mine rides rough as hell too.
