Thumbs up Which shocks should I get for smoother ride?
I have a 4.5" RC lift and I am looking for a smoother ride. I do some off road and it is my DD.

OME or Bilsteins...If ya want a really good ride OME's..

Here's some OME shocks.. You would need the N35L and N36L for your lift.

i've been very pleased with my OME shocks, very smooth on and offroad. they're expensive, but i got a good deal on them. of course im partial to them because they're the only shocks i've run on my jeep aside from the stock ones.
