Time is here to lift this XJ. 2 XJ's ago, I had lifted that one, and had Rusty's HD shocks. never again.
Looking to spend some coin for shocks that aren't rock solid. I've found my choices to be the RE monotubes, or the bilstein 5100's. I've read all over the place that the RE shocks are made by Edelbrock....then theyre made by Bilstein...then RE...and it goes on. Anyone really know anything about these? I've also read that they're adjustable? But i've never seen anyone talking about it or anything, so I'm a little confused.
Also, does anyone know if the RE's are actually valved to be vehicle specific, or is that just crap too? I'm sitting on an RE lift, looking for shocks and tires, figured it would be best to go with RE's?
As for the 5100s, these looks a LOT like the RE monotubes. I can't find any info about them, and searching here just constantly brings up the 5150's.
Also I've read about the OME shocks, how can these compete with monotubes, when theyre not?
I'm sure this has been posted 5 million times already though...
