Default Best shocks for the money
I have everything I need for my 4 in teraflex lift except for shocks. What are the best shocks for the money without breaking the bank?

Why not the Rancho XL9000? That's another one I keep hearing. I am in the same boat, about to buy new shocks, and was wondering the reason for one over the other.

are you really trying to compare Bilstein w/ Rancho? off road they are both great. on road? better get the bilsteins. try looking into the history, R&D and technology of Bilstein and you will understand...

Do you want a firm ride or a ride you can adjust to the terrain you are on?
Either way we have you covered with our RS7000MT monotube shock or our RS9000XL adjustable shock.

Also do you like to save money as well?

Good question. My BDS lift kit came with BDS shocks. Ride on road tosses you all over the place and if I hit a bump or pot hole while turning the entire jeep feels out of control. Will upgrading shock help?
