Help! Need shock recommendations!

[realcfer]

My Bilstein 5100’s are leaking, so I guess I am in the market for new shocks. I use my Gladiator as a daily, but do use off road as well. I have a Clayton 3.5 Overland Plus lift and 35” tires. I feel like my Bilsteins made my Gladdy ride like a dump truck. Thanks for your help and look forward to suggestions!

I just got a set of Blstiens for my Overland and the fronts are wrong! My jeep has a bolt through the top, kinda like the rear. The ones they sent are the 'standard' type with room for two rubber bumpers and washers. So though I can't help you with your problem, I have my own...

Well shoot...now I see what I did wrong, didn't read the add close enough and the ones I got were for a RAM! My bad.

Falcons Sp2 2.1's turned on soft setting

I had Eibach on when I originally had the mopar lift on and then while I went with 3” Synergy springs for a bit then switched to the 2.5 IFP fox/JKS. The fox were just to soft and short. I then went back the the Eibach and stayed with them on my 4” Synergy. I like them Made in USA and are softer than 5100 bils. I also read some place Eibach makes spring for Synergy. I have no proof but if that is the case maybe thats why I like my combo


EDIT : Can't leave well enough alone I have Bilstein 8100 DSA now or almost. One front is on back order so I'm waiting on Northridge for the drivers side front

Rancho RS7MT unless you are Jumping dunes or severe rock crawling

I have Bilstein 5100 now. They are a nice ride with the extra weight I carry around. Not sure how long I've had them on. 6 months? So far so good. Maybe you got a bad one? Were they all leaking?
