Im going to buy a rk 2.5 lift and need advice on shocks, i want the softest ride because i mostly do trail rides and the roads are washed out with bumps.Oh yea im coming from a sport edition.

 

What's your budget? RK will valve them according to your needs. King makes adjustable shocks...either option will cost you some coin. The least expensive option is the Rancho adjustables (9000 something-or-other). You can turn a dial to stiffen or soften as you like.

 

The ride will depend on the coils as much as the shocks (even tires for that matter). You are better off buying a tuned system with progressive coils that are initially soft for small bumps but stiffen up as the bumps become boulders. A soft ride in a Jeep is a relative term. I haven't driven a '12+ Sport but the newer Sahara's have a plush stock ride in terms of Jeeps.

 

Dont mean to hijack here, but has anyone tried the EVO Plush Ride coils? Ive got the Bilstein 5100's and they are pretty good shocks, but would like a coil to compliment them. I know Jeeps are going to be a bit rigid, but I too would like to soften up the ride just a tad. In the future I plan on going to a long-arm suspension and a set of coilovers, but until that time comes I would like to attempt to smoothe out my ride a bit. Thanks in advance!!

 

X2 On Rancho RS9000XL adjustable.
I have them on my Jeep with a 3'' lift. I like them a lot, I tend to keep them on the soft side on/off the hardball. Just find what feels good for you.

Amazon for the cheapest price I believe. Then send in the rebate form,

For 2.5 the numbers are (ending in) 29xl front and 30Xl rear.

Lets try this again!

 

Thanks! I just tried again.

 

been running the AEV could with the AEV progressive rate tuned Bilistein shocks for a whole and love them. I have had three different lifts on my jeep so this is from comparing a few.
