Default BEST SHOCKS???
Hey guys I need a little input. Gonna be replacing the shocks on my XJ and wanted to know what you think are the best ones. I dont need any thing thats gonna cost a bunch either. Ive been hearing that mono tubes is the way to go as well. Jeep is is on 33s with a 6.5in RC lift. Thanks.

I've always heard that Bilstein shocks are pretty awesome, but I have no clue about the price

you cant beat bilstien. though i have never owned them...i have never heard a bad review of them. And the 5125's arent too much.

good idea to go with mono-tube shocks. i have bilsteins on all 4 corners and would never go with a stupid twin tube shock again.

Always loved the RE monotubes. Hard to get right now, though I held out and found a NIB set a couple weeks ago.
