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?

 

You can get the rough country performance 2.2 for the same price just call and ask for jason. I have the hydros and they are a bit rough

 

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!

 

I'm so tired of my hydro shocks. Get Nitrogen if you drive it mainly on the street.

 

i just replaced some old rough skyjackers with some new BDS 5500 series and they are great

right around your price range too

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
