Default looking for new shocks

So I'm in the market for new shocks. I want to upgrade from the factory stuff but not sure what to get. Fox? Bilstein? , ome? Which brand and which part number. I'm not lifted and don't plan on it lifting but run 31s. I want to do both front and rear. Any advice or experiences? Jeep is a 99 2 door xj

I think he meant "hard to beat". You can't go wrong with either Bilstein 4600s or OMEs at stock height. I actually used JK Rubicon shocks and bar pin eliminators with my current OME lift and they ride surprisingly well.

Nope, they don't make them for stock ride height.
