Default Shock Time!

Time to get new shocks after 4 years. Looking at the OME or the Bilstein's? Thoughts?

I have OME and love them. Huge improvement over stock. But they're designed to work the best when mated with the appropriate Ome spring set (I have both) so that's what I'd recommend.

I think there are a few people running ome shocks with non-ome coils, so maybe they'll chime in here as well.

With our No Limits promo going on right now, a lot of people are looking at RS9000's. These are adjustable, and a great deal from now until August 31, ( a great deal anytime actually.)
They are made in the USA.
They come with our lifetime warranty and our 90 day risk free trial offer.
Something else to consider in your search.
Good luck.

I liked my Bilsteins on my old Jeep, but they were going to be on backorder for 2 months so I went with the Teraflex 9550.



Anything will be much better than stock...

Put Bilstein 5100's on my 09 Rubicon. Personally love them. Comfortable controlled ride as a daily driver and great control on rough trails. They did get hot though after a day of hard wheeling, even in cool weather (no fade though at all). They have lifetime guarantee so I hope I will be covered when they burn up. I had the Teraflex 9550's for a few days-brutal ride-much worse than stock for me. (Passengers commented on how bad it rode). The Bilsteins are much better than stock or the Teraflex.
