New shocks! what to choose?
Ive only gone with regular OEM shocks but since i got a 2 inch lift w/ 30's im lookin at spending about $200 in shocks to make the ride a little smother. Ive been lookin at rough country hydro 8000s for front and rear, anybody own a pair? Oh also does upgrading to a shock like this give u more height?

Shocks won't give you any lift..
I just got some of the RC 2.2's from Jason for less then 200$ I love them they are a little stiffer than the pro comp 3000 I had on there befor but I love them!

for that lift range, used JK Roubicon shocks!
cheap ($50 or less for a like new set) and they ride better than stock XJ shocks
