PM this guy on jeepforum FHMotorsports

He can find out what shocks you need and/or want and he can get them for you pretty quick, and he'll cut you a deal.

I have been very pleased with OME shocks. I recently replaced some fairly new OEM shocks with OME. There is a big difference. The OME steering stabilizer is unbelievable.
