my 5150s were useless even at a steady 40-50 on DS road from moab to grand junction after 15-20 minutes. i have yet to make my 9100s warm.

 

I was looking at them it's good to know. It was fun having my buddy with A RC lift and hydro shocks keep up be was like your insane I was all over the place over 35 mph. I told him good parts of a long way.

 

Please get informed on the subject.

 

Normally for mall crawling or rock crawling and technical trails most don't need them.

If I come to wash boards I slow down. If you hammer washboards and such for extended periods sure. They may help some.

But the fact is most buy them for looks.

Let's not make an issue out of such a small thing.

 

most XJ people cant seem to justify a nitrogen charged shock, let alone a rebuildable 2.0.

i'd say most bro-lifted pickups have them for looks, not XJs. maybe JKs with people ripping quadratec catalogs up with their amex during lunch break.

 

Yes its funny at work we will get these huge trucks in with suspension so stiff they don't even need shocks. And they will have 8 remote reservoir shocks. LOL

 

Ok since I don't do a lot of high speed off roading I will get 5100 for rear and since i do enjoy the look of the 5160 I think I will get them for the front. Thanks for all the input!

 

Honesty will get you everywhere.

I think you will love them. Be sure to post a picture!!

 

All 5100/5125/5150/5165/7100/9100/9300 2.0/2.65/3.0 triple bypass whatever feel exactly the same with the same valving. Going slow my 9100s will feel the same as a similarly valved 7100 or 5100 (thought it's not possible to get a 5100 valved anywhere near my application or any race ready application).

It's when the shock starts really working is wen you feel the difference.
