Default What are the best Shocks?
I 2010 rubi with a 4.5 inch lift with 35"S. I still have my factory shocks and stab. I would like to upgrade but so many to choose from. I was looking at Old Man EMU heavy duty shocks since I have a winch with a aftermarket bumper in front. I am looking for shocks that can handle tough trails and be decent on pavement/ Is there such?

I'm looking at the emu as well. They seem to be the best all around.
