I figured out today that I need to replace my rear shocks. I searched the site for everyone's suggestions.

I'm thinking of getting some Bilstein or Monroes. A few things I did find out were what "model" of shocks to get. Bilstein has the 4600 and 5100 and probably others. Monroe has the sensatrac and reflex. What are the preferred models? This XJ is my DD, so it's going to see 90% on road, and 10% light off roading. I have no lift, this XJ is mostly stock.

Also, where do you purchase these online, who has the best prices?

Thanks

 

If you want Bilsteins, contact Serious Offroad. He'll hook you up.

Don't waist your money on Monroe shocks. Go with the Bilsteins and be happy.

 

+1 for Bilstein.

 

MOnroe's: try advance auto parts. A lot of time on-line they have specials if you like order over$75.00 worth of stuff

 

What is OEM? I also just want a basic shock for commuter use.
Monroe SensaTrac's are popular on this site, and are $15.

Don't get the cheap Monroe's, had a set for about a month hit a speed bump (did not bottom out) and blew the seals out. Went back and got the HD ones no more problems.

 

I think I'm going for the HD Bilstein for a non-lifted XJ.

 

Good choice

 

Exact item(s) I am waiting for! Comeeeee on Fedex! Wheeee!

 

HD Bilstein What do they cost? Best place to order?
