basicly I would like any and all opinions on the best riding shocks. I have had great performance both in ride and longevity out of the Bilsteins on my superduty and am looking to match that with my X that I got 2 days ago. The loggers here swear by Bilsteins saying thay out last ranchos 3 to 1 and ride way better doing it (and so far with 3 years of dirt road on my Superduty no noticeable change or fade). So to stop rambleing - I had heard that Bilstein was making shocks for I think Superlifts bb kit and perhaps tera flex ????
inqureing minds want to know

 

The monotube shocks are Bils from Rubicon Express IIRC...not sure about the others.

ALL The ones with the old twin tube designs are NOT Bils.

 

The Superlift "SS" Series shocks are bilsteins, I have them on my wife's '08 Dodge, but I'm not sure if they have them available for JK's yet.

Full Traction also sells an excellent monotube, not sure who makes them.

On a side note, I think (don't quote me) that RE is using Edelbrock now. The set I saw last week were identical to Edelbrocks, just different color/stickers. I've had Edelbrocks. They are awesome on trucks/SUV's, but their bushings suck, very soft and wear quickly, especially when used frequently off-road.

thanks for that link.

So in light of these replys would I be better off buying Bilstein shocks seperatly for a tera flex 2" bb ???

 

That's my plan.



Once I figure out the valving and extended/compressed lengths.

 

Thats what Ive got...Teraflex 2.5 upgraded to bilstien shocks and a MORE 1" body lift.

 

Rooster did you order special valving etc. for the shocks? If so what was it. Where did you order your stuff from ? Most of all do you like it ???

 

mine has a Superlift SS 4 inch kit and it comes with Bilstein monotubes..!
