I need some new shocks for my xj. Its a 2000 and already has a skyjacker 3" lift on it. Does anyone have a good shock suggestion for me?

Default Shocking

Monroe Tenneco is a customer of mine. I run Monroe Sensitrac shocks. All stock shock applications work with my 3.5" lift. I use a riser block (check out build on site "GoJeep.com") on the lower bowtie mount of the front shocks, rears are stock mounted although I sacrifce some down travel. (Don't want the extra downtravel without a change to my driveshaft lenght.) Google the Monroe shock site. This time round I used the load assist spring over shocks on the rear as it helps with the weight of the extra stuff in the back. Happy so far. This is second set. Ran 78000 miles on the 1st set and one rear went bad. I watch for the shocks to come on sale. Front pair usually $100. Rear coil overs don't come on sale here, was $175 for the pair. Monroe is my customer, the product does work for me

Old Man Emu have always worked for me, they have a set that works with a 3 to 5" lift. The numbers are N35L and N36L, bought mine from Quadratec for ~88 each.. Also have them on my FJ Cruiser.

Are they? I've not heard this before. I've heard good things about the OME shocks, though I've not used them myself.
