Bilstein 5100's or the new Fox Shocks.

alot of the others rust prematurely, especially Pro Comps. On My TJ, had 2 sets of Pro Comp (yeah I know, why 2) and they both rusted to shit in no time

I'm running the adjustable Rancho RS900XL shocks that came with my 4" lift and love them. They come with a $100 rebate from now until June 30th too.

X2 I've read a lot on best shocks and these always seem to be the conclusion. I'm looking to get some myself soon.

Default Bilstein 5100 shocks
For guys that are not going to be trailing much do you still reccommend the Bilstein 5100's or something else?

I have been very pleased with my Fox remote reservoir shocks. They handle nicely.
