Looking for some shocks for the JKU. Hoping to catch a deal before I pull the trigger.

The reality is you can call it Black Friday or any other day-sale, but the deals really aren't any better than throughout the rest of the year. If you're lucky, maybe you can get an extra % here or there, but seen this gig long enough.......margins on parts are relatively skinny.

Sure not like trying to buy a big screen tv.

4wd.com has 10% off right now......they have the cheapest Bilstein 5100 I’ve seen for $319 and free shipping. With the added discount I got them for $287.....pretty fair deal to me so I pulled the trigger. Never had Bilstein but it has to be better than the RC shocks I have now

You don't say how many miles, year or goals.

FWIW, I just changed out coil springs and shocks on a 2013 JKUR with 70k on the clock.
Better ride, make bumps better and recovery isn't as much of a jolt.

I can't tell how much was Bilstein 5100s or EMU medium springs but it accomplished what I was wanting and maybe a little more.

Back to your question, Bilstein 5100s seem to be very popular across many vehicles including wranglers.
