Default Shock Rockin!

Hey guys, Was just wondering what shocks most people here use. I am planning on getting new ones within the next week and getting rid of my fabtech shocks so i was just wondering what to get. Feel free to adds pics if you have some. That would be great! Thanks-

Just a quick opinion. I have been running BDS shocks, not the gas ones, for about 3 weeks now. They ride no where near as nice as the stock Rubicon shocks. I would recommend spending the money on some nice gas shocks. My 2 cents.

i actually hear LOTS of great things about them. Thats the springs i bought to replace the skyjacker because i heard they ride so much better. Do you know if they make them long enough to fit a 5' lift for the jk?

I was thinking i about terraflex shocks? any info on them? as of now im just like hmm? all options are open =D

some people say the gassers are to stiff, but i like them... so far
