Default Shocks Question

Yes, I searched! But I have a specific question.

I got to Baja frequently now. You probably know the state of their roads. I don't want to be bothered by washboard roads there or speed bumps here in the States. Is Rancho, with their ability to dial a setting, a better choice for this application or is Bilstein?

I'm never going rock climbing, mud bogging, or doing anything extreme. Just some trailer/boat towing and light off-roading. I have a 2WD XJ Sport w/stock suspension, if that makes a difference. Thanks.

Besides the shocks, make sure all the bushings in your control arm's and your track bar's are in good shape.

Good point. From everything I've read, Bilsteins are the way to go on an otherwise stock truck. But I'll crawl under to check the bushings BEFORE I run to the store, so I can have everything I need once the tires come off.

Bilsteins would be my choice for a stock DD.
And Welcome to CF.
