I have a stock Samurai that I added some heavier bumpers front and rear. The old shocks are original. What are some good shocks to put on? Also a good steering stabilizer shock.

Thanks.

bilstein 5100

I'll check them out.

no man dont buy thoes 5100 all bad when you put thoes on you void the waranty they arent made for it they wont waranty it..i have a huge post about what happend to me trying to figure out where to post it

Okay, don't get those 5100's.

Go to the dealer and get the 'recommended' shocks and stabilizer.
Might be more than after market shocks, but hey, at least it's for the right weight.
Unless you want to do more research on what shocks do actually work for a stock Samurai.

Seems like I'm hearing auto parts shocks a bunch too.

I just want a decent ride.

go to napa

banned after one post? He must have done something before.

I just purchased an OME kit springs shocks and stabilizer.
It is not installed yet.
I will post the results when I get all put on.
Shocks should be chosen to match the springs.
The shocks job is to control the springs rebound.
If you have old stock springs (like mine) the best shock in the world wont fix the ride quality.
That's why I went with a tried and trued "system".
Hope it works as good as they say.
