2in prg spacer lift with bilstien 4600 up front and kyb gas-a-just rear shocks with air lift 1000 bag kit. Best cheap setup for these machines.
Yeah OME’s for a good softer ride in an XJ but best option, best value and more available is Bilstein 5100s. Lots of great reviews of them
I love mine, but it will be a rough ride on the road if your suspension geometry is off.
Bilstein 5100s, I love them on mine. They take a while to break in, but just go beat on them off-road for a day and they’re dreamy.
Best bang for your buck would definitely be bilsteins. If you don't do much off-road then bilsteins will be plenty good enough
I used Bilstein 5100s forever on previous trucks and they worked well and gave me some added lift. I now run Bilstein 6112s in front and 5160s in the rear. More expensive set up but way better ride than any Rancho shock could give you.
I have Bilstein 5100’s on my ‘15 and love them. Leveled the front with them to within a 1/4”.
Did you test the ride quality at different ride heights? I think if you raised up about an inch you would see that these are vastly superior to stock suspension. I had mine moderately low then raised them up 3/4 inch and the ride quality is much better. I have B16s.
They're definitely a more budget friendly option so don't expect them to preform like fox or king shocks, for a daily you don't care too much about I'd run them, but for a truck you care about and want more performance out of I'd run Bilstein 4600's
The original shocks were completely shot so I replaced them with Bilstein B6 shocks. The ride feels incredibly stiff on most roads.
