So I am just going with a tf leveling kit on a jk x and was thinking of just upgrading the shocks to get away from the stocks. Any ideas?

 

post some more info about your JK and what you plan on doing with it. I have FOX shox and I like them

 

Old man emu all the way

 

I will second the fox shox. Love they way feel.

 

I just plan on keeping 33s and putting front a rear smittybilt src bumpers. Recon winch and src tire carrier. When the tires are done. Getting wheels. That's about it. Just using the jk as a dd and for trail/mud.

 

And would the shock be with no lift or what?

 

Go Bilstein 5100's or if you lift it 2.5+ I would put a set of Elkas from Teraflex. I think as a daily driver the fox shocks are a bit stiff.

 

So would I go 0-2lift shocks correct?

 

Thanks for looking-
Thinking about upgrading shocks, I've noticed my front BS has 1" of travel before hitting the the BS on the plate, parked level. I have a light/cheap tube bumper that wil find it's way off the jeep in the next few months, so wight is no issue, now; but will be a problem very soon.

I have 3 1/2" TF BB that came without shocks, previouse owner installed. I run 305/65 17 ProComp on ProComp wheels.

This is what I was looking at, but there has to be something better; I was thinking old school air shocks- don't know if they're still made.

Rancho RS9000XL Series Front Shock Absorber
For 07-12 Jeep® Wrangler JK & Unlimited JK with 0-2" Lift
Manufacturer Part No: RS999326 $105.99 eash shock

Front end always hit botton and I think it sits lower in front. I need more travel before adding a new bumper and wintching it up. I'm thinking good shocks, mine are stock 08 JK x shocks, the rear are also stock, would be a start. The way it sits, just the front needs some attention; but I expect some from the rear when I add some weight.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

I'm a teraflex guy, I love their products and for something inexpensive their shocks are great. I'm running rancho 9000 soon. I like the adjustability of them because I use my jeep for so many different things.
