SOFT shocks
okay so whats the best way to go for some super soft shocks? my friend kevn has had a zj with 2.5OME lift and hated the OME shocks, then had a XJ with 4.5lift and had RE monotubes and said it rode smoother... are monotubes really smoother than OMEs????

Pro Comp, Rough Country, Rancho(basic), Sky Jacker Hydro, Rusty's and a few others are all the very same shock(not even inside changes), Cheap and soft. Me if I wanted a cheap shock I'd probably run Rough Country or Sky Jacker but remember there only going to last about a year. Now if you want a soft shock that has some life to it get a SkyJacker Nitro there soft and seem to hold up.
Hands down the best shock I've ever ran were Bilsteins and when I get my next Jeep(a XJ) it will be riding on Bilsteins all the way, but that's at a price of $100 per shock..

If you want a good shock that is not blown out and is pretty soft and cheap then look into Monroes. They are available everywhere and you will need the shock specs that your lift requires then go to your AZ or O'Rs and crossmatch what you need.

The Nitro's are soft after you run them a bit, I had them on my YJ and thought they were way softer than my Hydro's, but at the same time there is a fine line between "soft" and "controlled" and I was doing alot of high speed fire roads at the time when I had the Nitro's on it... Now on the slow craw trails I loved the Hydro's..

Thats exactly it, preference is the name of the game. What one person finds great will often not be the case for another person get something and see how it works for you.
