I've been happy with my OME shocks and springs. I enjoy the ride..not much body roll. Got about 30,000 miles on them. Curious about the bilsteins as well. Don't need anything adjustable or fancy--just shocks

Im running evo plush 4" and fox 2.0 ifp's. I came from a rough country 4". I changed just the springs first. A lot of people told me night and day difference. I didn't notice a whole lot if any change. My gf says its the same. I the changed the shocks from the rough country to the fox 2.0. I noticed a lot less body roll and better over washboard and small stuff. The bigger bumps still send a vibration through your whole body. The gf says she can't feel a change at all. She bought them and she is pissed! Lol I can tell a difference tho. Also, im still short the draglink flip/trackbar relocation so that should help quite a bit

Thanks for the updates. I'm probably gonna go with the Bilsteins.

Definitely recommend the EVO drag link flip kit for 3'' and over . Bumpsteer is gone !!

Off topic, but I've seen this pic elsewhere on these forums and I have to say it's one of the most beautiful Jeep/scenery pics here, and I've looked through the "Jeeps in beautiful places" thread. Just a shame that telephone pole is in the background.

I got Rancho 9000XL adjustables on a TF 2.5 lift. They are excellent. The ride is smooth and can be dialed into your preference. I don't have experience with the others mentioned, but the Ranchos were a huge improvement over stock.

Thank ya, yeah you know I thought the same thing. I thought about cropping it out of the pic, but figured I'd end up losing a good chunk of the snow filled trees.
