Default Billstein shocks on WJ

Is anyone running Billstein 4600 shocks on stock 2004 WJ? It's time for shocks and I'm thinking about these for front and rear. I also am considering Billstein 5100 but they are listed for 4" of lift but mine is stock height currently. Any advice?

I have the 5100's on my WJ, but I'm running a 3" OME lift. They are great, as most everyone who ever runs Bilsteins always says.

I've got the Monroe-Matic Plus shocks on my Stock WJ and I like them. They are nitrogen filled OEM replacements.

I have these on my stock XJ, just put them on a month ago. They are nice, very stock-like ride.

Ive got a 2002 laredo with 75k mi on it and looking to change out the shocks (no lift). Do I understand correctly that I can buy the 5100's for 0" lift? Better yet, should i?

Also, are struts an issue at this point, or might shocks be all I need.

I'm also about to pull the trigger on four firestone Destination LE 2, and not sure if I should go with 225 or 245, do you guys have any opinion on that?

Thanks!
Jason

No. 5100 are engineered for lifted vehicles, not those at stock ride height.
