Default Shocks?

My jeep is lifted 3.5 inches and is a daily driver, I do camp alot and go offroading and want a shock that will flex really good. What shocks should I go with, not sure how each brand is, was interested in skyjacker or RE because im looking for all 4 shocks for at most 200, Thanks

As long as your shocks are the right lenght they should not affect how much you Jeep "flexes". They will make a difference on how it rides on the trail or road and how much you tires bounce when spin them on a rock or ledge.

I personally do not like Skyjacker shocks as they tend to be very stiff and more of a heavy truck shock. No experience with the RE shocks. You could always pick up a set of Bilstiens for just a bit more than your $200.

4wp has the bilsteins for $300. no shipping cost if you can pick up in store
but RE seems to be a good middle ground. although I've never bought RE shocks, I'd feel comfortable buying them if you cant afford the steins
