Default are ( fox ifp shocks) any good for a stock suspension on my jk 2 door rubicon

no lift ! Im trying to find a good shock and one that wont rust out , New England road salt usually kills them in a couple of years so I was thinkin alum

They make them for no lift but not adjustable . I guess they run about $115 00 each or is there a better alternative for me with no lift ? Tired of the bad ride Im getting feeling every ripple on the tar, I swear if a ran over a pencil I feel it

Rancho RS9000s. You can adjust them from really soft, to pretty stiff. They come in stock size. And there is a $100 rebate until the end of the month. Paid $255 for 4 after it was all said and done.

From my experience with them on my Ford Raptor I will let you know that oxidation will still tear them up from the road salt. They make some sleeves to help prevent it. They were very nice but have to be rebuilt every 50k of on road driving, 10k of on/off road driving and every 1k of straight off road driving.

I went from stock, to Rough Country, to Rock Krawler/RS9000s. The RC shocks were poo. These are real nice. I keep mine set on 3 in the front and 4 in the rear. They ride better than any stock JK I ride in. Have a few fellows I work with that drive stock JKs (suspension anyways) and we rotate driving to and from places.

I typed question in the title box then the ????? My mistake . I WAS WONDERING WHAT SHOCK BRAND DETERIORATED fox 2.0 and need to be re built ?

Well ive been reading good reviews on the ( Monroe mono tubes shocks ) being much better than stock rubicon shocks for about $ 226.00 I can get all 4 , This is a option I guess

Thanks for reply .

I don't want to waste money on something that's junk but I don't have a lifted jeep so I don't think I need real expensive shocks . But I could be wrong !

Fox shocks are nice but avoid them if you want a nice soft ride.

Monroe monotubes if you want a nice controlled ride. They are great on my rig.
