I bought my jeep with Rancho 9000 adjustables on it and I loved them. You can set them soft for the street and stiffen them up off road. Not sure how much they are but I really liked them.
change your mind again there brian?
bilstein appears to be the favorite here.
The XJ/XJ bastard pack was, in my experience, a terrible ride. Get you some MJ/S10 springs...
For an inexpensive shocks, I'll second the DT Pre-Runner series for you daily driver with moderate wheeling. RS5000s are the worst riding shock I've ever run. Skyjacker Softride Hydros aren't bad for the buck, velocity sensing as well.
When it's time to "invest" in your ride, Bilstein.
Bilstein is the best... I agree on the Skyjackers as well.
Primary use: Daily driver
Secondary use: Long trail, rutted, unimproved roads
tertiary use: occasional rock/log obstacle -for example water crossing with boulders in coyote canyon.
No high-speed shenanigans. I drive like a grampa. (My oldest is 5, so I've got a lot of time to practice..haha)
What's the best shock for the money, and my intended use?
