Default Replacement Shocks for my 08 4door JK

Hello Jeep Peeps!

I have asked around and done my research for replacement shocks and now would like your opinion. I have an 08 JK 4dr, 3.5" Rubicon Xpress Super Flex Lift with 35" BFG KM2's. I have been recommended the Pro Comp MX, OEM, and Bilsteen 5100. Can anyone offer up some personal experiences? My highway time is about 85% and Rock time is about 15%.

Thanking you in advance,

Chad
PS: Happy New Year!

I have a Rubicon unlimited with the RE Super Flex and I am running the Bilstien’s 5100. They feel good on the street and off road. It doesn’t feel that much different than before I got it lifted and put the 35’s on it.

Thanks Red Dog. I'm leaning toward the Bilsteens. But I want a smooth highway ride.

Fox makes some replacements as well, and Rock Krawler has some new shocks out, Teraflex as well I believe?
