My TF shocks have just about had it. I’m going back and forth between these 3. My current set up is OME HD front springs, OME medium rears, 3/4” spacers, and Currie Antirock front on a JKU running 38s, winch, bumpers, sliders, so she’s a bit heavy. Because of this I get ALOT of body roll on road so really wouldn’t mind something more stiff. My wheeling consists of rock crawling, no real high speed stuff so don’t figure I need a reservoir shock. Really only wheeling a few times a year now also.

please post up your experience with any of these 3 shocks and help me make my choice.

TIA.

 

how about some Falcon 2.1 sports? I love my Falcon3.1's I get no body sway on road driving fast yet they feel great offroad had them to Moab twice and getting ready to go again.

 

I had a lot of roll with 5100s. I switched to Fox 2.0 and I've been very happy. I think your Antirock will probably contribute a lot to body roll. I ended up swapping my stock sway bar out for a heavier bar and it made a big difference on the road as well. Since I just disconnect for the trails, it doesn't make any difference there.

 

I have Fox 2.0. I had a lot of friends that started out on Bilstein 5100s, and I personally think the ride between those are comparable. If it comes down to those two by chance, I think it really depends on lengths, especially if you're looking at the versions that are a bit longer (3.5"-5" on Bilstein, and 4-6" on Fox). The Fox are a bit longer extended, and also have a longer body. Depending on the setup, that could limit some uptravel. I'm coming up on needing new shocks soon myself. I'll most likely not do the Fox again, some of that due to changes in my build, some of it due to thinking they were just "meh". I think my choice will depend more on specific extended/collapsed lengths more than anything though.

 

Was looking at max price of $550 or so.

 

northridge4x4 with the forum discount is $585 shipped.

 

I've only run the OME. Prob on my 4th set. Nothing else to compare it to but they feel great on and off road.

 

thanks, I always forget about that. I’m just leaving money on the table. Need to look into these then.

 

Are you running raised track bar brackets, drag link flip? If not, along with the anti-rock I can see increased body roll.

 

no drag link flip, raised bracket in the rear, stock in the front.
