Default Suggestions for new shocks please.

I have an 07 "X" and I am not planning to lift it. What are my options for a quality shock? I have tried googling and everything that I get in the results pages are for lifted vehicles.

I did find Bilstein HD shocks, but not any nitrogen gas shocks.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

will the stock Rubi shocks fit? I'm sure that you could get some practically new ones from someone here for almost nothing.

I have the Bilstiens and they are night and day better than the stockers.
My wife agrees that the ride is so much better.

i LOVE my OME LT's they were probably the best upgrade I did to my jeep, they ride so nice and smooth and have ton's of travel off-road.

I don't understand why OME doesn't make stock replacement shocks..
