Shock suggestions

[Stingray77]

Ima start off and say I have no intention in my jeep riding like a Cadillac and I know it never will lol. But I have a Mojave with a 3-3.5 JKS lift with the factory fox 2.5 shocks and there not cutting it anymore. I’m trying to achieve a better ride with having improved off-roading capabilities. This is my daily driver but I love to off road whenever I can. I do live in Florida so there’s not many rock or hill climbs around, But I do go to off road parks with rough sandy roads and some man made climbs. I’d just love some suggestions, I’ve been eyeing the king 2.5 remote reservoir and I looked around at the bilstein 5160-8100. The falcon 3.3 caught my attention but I’ve seen very mixed reviews, so it’s left me very undecided. Anything helps thank you.

keeping in the initial design of the mojave in mind, I'd get Kings or Fox's built to spec. Just get your truck weighed and send in it front to rear weights and they can valve a set for you. If your gonna spend that expensive shock money you might as well maximize it.

I’ve been looking at using accutune for my tuning.

Thank you for the tip, I didn’t think about that.

I’ve heard mixed reviews, a lot of people say there stiff. I don’t know if that’s because of the springs there running but I really like the easy adjustability on them.

Ima have to look into those, they’ve caught my attention. Is it worth the money? And I’m worried how they’ll hold up.

you can set them that way, but you can also soften them all the way up. So easy to adjust, and no guesswork.

A few guys here have them and really like them. Seems like wider bang for the buck then throwing money at hi end king off road shocks designed for mostly off road.

Falcons just seem like mass produced shocks shined up to look fancy.

I suppose I am concerned that you are not happy at all with the Mojave shocks. Are there better? Absolutely, but they aren’t trash by any means.
Can you provide more information on your current setup?? Do you have shock extensions on? Have your sway bar links been extended?

What about the ride is it that you don’t care for? And what is the expectation with new shocks? Visual upgrade or full send air time?

without knowing the need- Bilstein bypass 8100’s are awesome- the ability to quickly tune through the shock travel is awesome. I have had these on our JKU. Great shock. King hydro bump stops are great to match with these, and I would recommend king over fox for hydro bumps for rebuilding….

Truly, unless you intend to get real Rowdy, ^^ is an almost $5,500+ shock setup that can be a total waste if you don’t plan to go fast and get crazy.

If you want a good ride and looking for top shelf, checkout accuair’s full air ride setup. Probably the best get it all done (exception go fast desert/dune) setup you could go with.

Please provide some more details to your current setup and your intended use. ??? otherwise we can all recommend the moon and you could end up with not much better than your current setup.

Ohlins. You can set both the rebound and compression separately. That's the shocks I want.

Checkout Eclik. You won’t be disappointed. 2.5 reservoirs with fully electronic management, monitoring, and automated adjustments during driving. I’ve eliminated body roll on the road, and they handle off road like nothing I’ve seen. It’s a completely new vehicle. You have three base modes, road, offroad, and desert/baja. All modes can be adjusted an enormous amount, and front and rear can be set differently from within the cab. I could go on for a long time.
