New Shocks; Which to Choose?
Hey all, I tried searching some forums about different shocks and preferances, but didn't have much luck trying to search through the posts. I'm thinking about swapping out the shocks I have now on my "supposedly" 4'in lift. It is my daily driver, but I do take it out muddin when I get the chance. By no means is it into climbing rocks. Mostly used for tearing through mud/woodland area. Righ now I have skyjackers(It is my first jeep, so I am ok to say I wouldn't know a good pair of shocks from a cheap pair) Some insight would be great. Thanks!

The dampening effect(how hard or soft absorbs the bumps) can be adjusted between 6 different levels....
I am running Pro Comp 3500's and like them. Ride is a little stiff but that is OK for me. The wife complains sometimes though.
I'm Mike, make sure you spell it right, because I do not want to get the wrong A$$hole in trouble.
If you do not have time to do it right the first time, how do you have time do do it over?

my procomp 3000s are stiff as can be. I just bought two skyjacker nitros to put on the rear. my stock shocks are pretty nasty.
Keep it slow. I can't afford spare parts.
bilstein 5150's are a great entry level piggyback shock. same price as the procops.
haha sorry, yeah, what Joey said.Originally Posted by wranglerchik00

OME's give you the smoothes ride on the road and do what is needed off road

Regular Bilstein's work great, unless you are baja'ing you don't really need remote reservoir shocks. Old Man Emu (OME) are also good shocks and if I remember correctly they have differant calibrations for how your Jeep is configured (i.e. winch up front, heavy rear spare tire with carrier, etc.). Most lift companies who make lifts buy their shocks from some where else and then have them private labeled. The real key is matching shock travel with your lift so that you will not bottom out the shock when you stuff a tire or over extend it at full flex.
