I have some cheap *** rough country shocks which are pretty much dying a rapid death after about 6 months. Cheap china ****.
I have seen the bilstein's up close on my brothers 4 runner, they are impressive. Imight try those or some fox shocks this season.

Mine had sky jacker 8000's all the way around but I picked up a set of JK rubicon shocks and put them in the rear with the sway bar bracket made into bar pin eliminator mod. They are at least 2'' longer than what I was running in the rear. I will def get Bilsteins when I spend the money for new longer shocks.

I run Bilstein 5125s. They are leagues above the rough country 2.2s/ skyjacker/ DoetschTech shocks I had before. Only thing I don't like is the boots. They disconnect every time it flexes and are a PITA to reconnect.

I was thinking of just etching a little groove around the top with a dremel for the boot to grab when you zip it tight. But that thought was long ago, still just pulling them down by hand..lol
