Default Rubicon Shocks

Anyone know who actually makes the stock Rubi shock for Jeep? Just curious. 35's on the way and I'd love to replace with something valved similar to these.

I have an early 2007 X JK and bought the Rubicon shocks and springs from a 2010 and believe it or not, the plain black stock X shocks are stiffer on both directions. Where rebound is a concern stiffer is better for a smooth ride and the ride on this one is quite nice. Has 285/75-16 Goodyear T/A's

If you are trying to get the same "ride" or "feel," remember that the 35" tires are MUCh heavier and will require different valving to get the same "ride" or "feel."
