Looking for suggestions for shocks
I have a 2018 JK and I want to replace my stock shocks. I don’t have a lift and I use my Jeep to deliver mail. Wanted some feedback on what brand to replace them with. Thanks for any suggestions.

Which version of the JK do you have? If you don't have a rubi or a Willy's, you may want to consider late model take-offs from one of those. That's what I did. The red shocks are somewhat better, though I think they rust easier. I primed and painted mine with high quality paint before installing them.

If you can't find takeoffs like Rob suggested above, I'd just stick with a quality oil filled unit from the auto stores...or some Ranchos. For your use I'd probably stay away from anything that is gas-charged due to the rough ride they'd give provide you. Simple wear and tear item on a jeep seeing the type of service yours is.
