Old Man Emu Nitrochargers.

Model number N35L for the front.
Model number N36L for the back.

Go with an Old Man Emu nitrocharger steering stabilizer as well model number SD40.

Then enjoy the incredible ride.

Dont know how much truth there is behind this, but i was alway told to get the cheapest shock you can find and it will give you the best ride.....then just replace them every 3-4 years.

here is what you are looking for, the shipping is free if you pick it up in the store, or you can just walk in to 4wheelparts and buy it there.

If you want a really nice ride cheap, look on Ebay for some low mile JK shocks.
I put the standard JK shocks on my kids xj w/3" lift and it rides really nice.
I put JK rubi shocks on my Xj with 3.5+" and some BPE's. Rides good, but not as cushy and nice as my kids....
Got his for 56 bucks shipped with under 50 miles one them.
Got mine local for 70 bucks off a brand new '10 rubi.
