Anyone have any idea if NKR/Nekor shocks are any good?

Theyre twin tubes. They are going to be like any other. Mediocre at best.

Yeah get some bilstein 5100s. 4wp has them on sale right now

I just got my 5100s installed last wknd. It's defiantly a huge improvement. It will be even better once I get my full leaf packs installed

Yeah I have them in the front with long arms so it's amazing. Then the rear with brand new leafs and RC shocks hit and it's hell lol. I'll be ordering new rear shocks once I have the cash

I just got 5125s and think they suck all hype too soft, cause tons of body roll

Tsaani97xj

They offer different valving. You picked wrong for your application. 5100s are serious quality for their price.

255/70 same as xj 5100s

What springs are yoy running?

wrapstar

R.e. 5.5" coils long armed and the back is r.e. 3.5" leafs, 1" boomerang shackle and h.d. no lift shackle relocation brackets.

Sorry for the threadjack. The Bilsteins arent the cause of excess body roll. I would put money on something else. Tires, lack of sway bar, worn bushings, CoG, low spring rate/worn springs. Your suspension is a system and all the parts contribute to how it functions. With as many people that have been satisfied or impressed with 5100s, myself included, kind of point the problem elsewhere. Im at 5.5" front 5" rear on Guard Dogs and I experience minimum body roll and am completely stable at all highway speeds.

I didnt really mean to come off so direct. I meant you probably needed a stiffer valving because of something like I listed above or to correct the problem.

Nope literally just rebuilt the whole front end including sway bar bushings and installed the shocks rear has less the 10k on it. It drove better with dtech 8000 a twin tube

I am thinking the LAs plus that height and RE coils, which are relatively soft spring rate is doing it. I am no expert on valving but with that setup I bet the next tier valving would be recommended with your setup.

Any extra weight? Bumper/armor/skids etc? I dont have any extra weight 4.5 RE coils and CADs and like I said no extra roll with the same valving. I actually almost wish mine were softer.

That's why. The d techs are meant for bigger trucks than our XJs. Going from that anything would feel like a lot of body roll
