Details?

I have now replaced them with Rancho RS9000XL's and the ride quality is a night-and-day improvement. The Ranchos at their stiffest setting of 8-9 provides the same ride quality as the Bilsteins which is great for high speed desert 2-tracks or body motion control while rockcrawling, but at settings 1-3 (depending on whether the hardtop is on or off) I now have an ultra-cushy ride.

Rancho shocks of the 2010's can't be compared with Rancho shocks of the 1980's. If you haven't given them a try with your own two butt cheeks, then you're really missing out.

On a side note, I have a set of 4 perfectly good (but excessively stiff) Bilsteins for sale. LOL

I run a pretty light Jeep with a PS Brawler Lite front bumper and no winch, no skids and a MC rear bumper and TF tire carrier. I have the AEV 2.5" kit and got a little more than 2.5". I don't want to jump into the Fox or King adjustable price range if I can avoid it. Anyone know of a part number to fit my kit?? Thanks!!

As for the AEV suspension, the 2.5" means about 3.0" front and about 2.0" rear lift. My 3.5" AEV suspension gave my 4-door exactly 4.0" front and 3.0" rear lift. I'm sure Rancho can quote the part numbers for the right-length shocks for your lift.
