Bilstein doesn't just make racing shocks.
fox and king have 'prerunner' series.
fox even makes oem mounts

Americans don't know how to build shit anymore. All 'we' know how to do is spend money.

I don't use air shocks and I don't use bypass shocks. Why are you arguing a point that nobody else is trying to defend?

Both there basic shocks suck. Flip a coin and then buy one. It doesnt matter, I have the basic ranchos and they suck.

x2 I've run them all. If you want a 'decent' shock for the money, spend (literally) a few more bucks and get the Rancho RSX.

"Those who stick up for the shitty, cheap shocks are the ones who haven't run good ones or would feel guilty spending the money for them."
"Americans don't know how to build shit anymore. All 'we' know how to do is spend money."
Make up your mind.

i had 10'' monroes on the front of my xj and it rode like a caddy, i had fox 2.0 before that
I am in the process of researching what the best riding shocks would be as well... I am a moderate off-roader, but the box is my daily. I am running the Doetch Tech that came with my RC (poor choice) budget lift kit and they ride like absolute GARBAGE! Hard as frikkin rocks! Off road is ok, because a rough ride is expected... but I get physically angry when I am on a poorly maintained road! Not to mention that I have permanently dented the headliner above the drivers seat from the big bumps that I don't see in time! God help the drivers next to me when I am accellerating through a turn and hit a bump, which inevitably causes a loss of traction and some severe overcorrecting! I need to get something softer so when I have children I wont have to worry about shaken baby syndrome occurring in the child's seat! That is a serious concern... DT, they are crappola! Shock absorbtion... haa! You would be better off welding a steel pipe from the body down to the axles and just airing down the tires!

I have never used their base model shocks, but i can tell you that the 9000's suck hardcore, they dont absorb almost any bump at a moderate speed, but from what i have seen im thinking about getting ca lowering brackets first(would anyone recommend RC?) because a decent set of bilsteins are about 4xx.xx
if they are anything like the skyjacker nitro shocks, i wouldnt get them. the skyjacker nitros i had where very firm and you could feel every bump in the road. i went from skyjacker nitros to bilstein 5100 and it was a night and day difference.

I agree with the Rough Country shocks being not so good. My bushings were gone in three weeks and that's with just one short off road trip.
