Default Help picking a shock?

hey everyone. (again). if you havent read any of my posts in the last couple days, I lifted up my cherokee.

I got 3" Lift from skyjacker. included is a full leaf spring, coils, lcas, and tracbar relocation brackets. let me find the link....
http://www.carid.com/2001-jeep-chero...m-1481334.html
here it is... thankfully my brother works for the website and also has a cherokee so i paid his pricing. came out to like 310 after shipping and tax so im not complaining.

point is i still riding on factory shocks and they suck. i had mentioned that i dont want to stiffen up the ride at all and i read that the skyjacker nitro 8000s really stiffened it up.

back in the days of wanting a tacoma trd offroad (awesome truck but about 10-20x more expensive for the same year and mileage as my jeep (2001, 100k)) everyone on the forums raved about the bilstein 5100 adjustables.

i looked on SORP but theres like 14 different options http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...rs/5100-Series
and i have no clue which is the one id need based on the lift that i installed. or if i should even do bilsteins or something else... honestly no clue. like i said i dont want to stiffen up the ride much if at all.


thanks guys.

Go with Bilsteins. Measure for the collapsed and extended length you need, and order the shocks that are the correct lengths.
