I have the same question about best shocks, except I have a '07 JK with a Black Diamond 2" lift. I installed them just before the Poker Run and the AT shocks turned my Jeep into a Pogo Stick. HiWay ride is also terrible. Anyone have any Ideas for a proper shock. I drive Jeep everyday plus drive the desert a couple of times a week.(retired). So I need to handle both. If someone can Help I sure could use it. Thanks

Heres what I did for the lower mount of my 7100's. I removed the Bilstein spherical bearing and used a poly bushing with the stock barpin. Has worked great so far.

For the top I just used the typical shock adapters and the Bilstein provided spacers and washer as spacer. Shock adapters are rotated so that the clevis ears are fwd and aft of the shock.Last edited by blazair; 11-15-07, 09:00 PM.1999 [color=red]Jeep[/color] Cherokee Sport 4X4 4DR

I ran Rancho 5000s for several years on my YJ. The ride was always very harsh. I used to say that it rode like it had square wheels.
When they finally wore out, I replaced them with a set of Rancho 9000s. Rear set on 7 front set on 5. For a leaf spring suspension, it rides pretty nice on and off road.Never the last trail!:cactus:
