    Update!

    JBA sells FOX reservoir shocks (2.0 Pro-Series) for our vehicles. The ones they have listed for a 4" lift are 28" long.... so 1/2" longer than my current shocks. $225 each is also a good price, competitive for similar Bilstein 7100 series.

    Aren't the Bilstein front struts the 4600 series? Only the rears are 5100s iirc. Members have had issues with the bilsteins and I haven't seen them in an off-road environment on a WK or XK. On other vehicles I've seen then perform quite well.... but for these vehicles the best option, IMO, is the OME for the fronts. The difference in price isn't that drastic considering the work involved to change them and how long they last.

    The shocks were $205 each + $105 each for the CD adjuster add on, free shipping. So more money than i'd like to sum up to one number, but less than my state tax return so I'm going to pretend they were free and the state only owed me $150 lol.
