Hey guys looking to upgrade my shocks on my 2011JKU I have a TF 2.5BB with 33s and not sure with shock is better for me my jk is a road daily driver but I plan to hit some trails this summer what you guys thing

 

Have you looked into the Rancho RS9000XL shocks? They're pretty sweet I must say

 

no I haven't lookt them them yet I will now tho

 

I love my 5100s for on road driving. Very nice ride

 

Have the 5100s on a 2.5in lift *^

 

how do you like the setup for light trail ?

 

I have the BB 2.5" lift also, get the Rancho 9000's it rides so good off and on the highway very smooth ride not a clue of stiffness. You sometimes forget that you are ridding a solid axle vehicle. Mine is a JKU 14 fyi. I adjust my shocks on the 3 mark

 

I had TF9550 at first. I have 5100 Bilsteins now. When I changed I can say I felt a difference. Now that I've had them for a year or so I think they ride a little rough too LOL. But, to answer your question, IMO I say they ride a little smoother, not GREAT, but good.

 

The Bilsteins run firm, I actually liked my Teraflex ones but switched over to the Rancho's which are adjustable my favorite so far for sure..... Watch for sales on them.

 

The Ranchos were the editor's choice in "Overland Journal's" comparison test. They'll be my next shock.
