Default Best shocks for an unlimited 4" lift with 37" tires

I have had OME long travel shocks on the Jeep for about 60,000mi and they still seem good but getting ugly, how long do they last?

thinking about Fox or comparable and are the reservoirs needed or just Bling?

The ride on the road cannot be stupid stiff!

60,000 miles on the shocks? If they're leaking any fluid, they're blown. I'd still replace them, thats a f*ck ton of miles.

You said you don't want your on road ride to be stupid stiff? Ditch the FOX idea entirely then and stick with OME LT shocks or go Rancho 9000's for a more adjustable ride.

Reservoirs aren't for bling, it's for heat dissipation if you're running fast. You don't need them.

If we are in the running we are offering a rebate right now.
I like the adjustability of the 9000XL's. Gets the you want.

Yep, some 2.5" triple bypass kings should fit the bill.
