i need some new shocks for my tj. it has 4.5 inches of lift and it rides pretty rough, i know the control arm angles affect that but i think different shocks would help. also one of them is leaking alot of oil. i have RE shocks monotubes i think. i was looking at bilstein 5100 but heard they are kinda rough, i dont want to spend more than 100 per shock but want it to ride smooth since it sees alot of driving on the road

what say ye

I have really been pleased with my Old Man Emu shocks. Unless I went to something like a remote resivoir I will continue to use OME.
