Default what shocks???

Hey guys, so I am purchasing a 3.5" Rubicon Express SuperRide lift w/ full rear leafs, steering stabilizer, and 4 shocks, but I can't decide on what shocks to get. My options are:

-Rough Country Nitro: 157.75 including shipping
-Rubicon Express Twin-Tubes - 199.99
-Pro Comp ES1000 - 109.99
-Pro Comp ES3000 - 139.99
-Pro Comp ES9000 - 159.99

What are the differences between the Pro Comp ones? Also, this Cherokee will be a 95% highway vehicle. Thanks! I need to decide ASAP because the sale is ending tomorrow!

After much research, I would have gone with the REs from this list, but I picked up BIlstein 5100s for $100 more instead.

I was looking for feedback from someone who had some of these shocks and could tell the difference between them.

I'm in the same process, just that buying the 4.5" lift. Where do you buy the shocks and what large do you select? Thanks.

I don't think the size matters - as long as it is for lifted Cherokees. Here is what I bought: http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits...hockingBIL5100.

If you just go to 4wheelparts, put in your vehicle upper left, choose the "liftkits, shocks" tab, then "shocks and shock absorbers", then "super shocking deal", that's where the $299 4 Bilstein 5100s deal should be. Hope this helps.

I have the idea that depending the lift or if you have extra weight like a bumper+winch, the shocks you need. At least in Clayton I found this table:

Maybe I'm wrong about this.
