Im debating which ones to get. The Old Man Emu shocks are about 50 bucks more than the Monotubes from where I'm buying them. Im looking for the one with the best ride quality, because im mostly going to be on pavement. Anyone have either of these? Waddya say about them?

I wish I would have purchased my monotubes two years ago!
I do not have personal experience with OME shocks but a local xj driver has them and loves them.

The OME's are more expensive but are a little more plush. The RE monotubes are a little stiffer but cost less. I run RE monotubes and will buy them again when these wear out.

X2 on the monotubes. Either way though, you can't realy go wrong.

I run RE monotubes on my XJ and my dad runs OMEs on his grand. Both are amazing shocks, you can't go wrong.

I have the OME N35-36L's in my jeep at 4.5" and have driven my friends at 5.5" with the monotubes and I think the monotubes win hand down for overall road comfort... but it might also be due to the fact that his is slightly newer too... but yes you really cannot go wrong with either of those choices.
