Did a run today in So Cal desert. Rear feels soft.

Took a buddy for a shock test ride. Yep the rear shocks are done. The Fox 2.5 that came with the Mopar 2 inch lift. Really sad that they did not last much.
This would be a good time to upgrade the springs if there is a better riding spring over the Mopar 2 inch lift springs. 2 1/2 inch is popular lift. Any suggestions for a good street and highway ride spring??

Depends who you ask
Looking at a 2.5" Evo Stage 4 lift for my '22 JT. Curious about some recommendations for shocks to pair with this kit. Kings are nice but very pricey. Falcon 3.3 adjustable seem nice as well, but once getting to that price may consider Kings. Don't necessarily need this nice or level of shock. Would like to get some feedback and recommendations on options for shocks.

FYI this rig will see majority road time, construction job sites, logging roads, and things of that nature. I've noticed with the stock suspension when on job sites that are still rough or rutted, there seems to be quite a bit of body roll. However, I don't want to make it too stiff.
Why not talk to EVO? Tell them your situation and expected usage. They have Bilstiens valved to work with their springs that’s probably your best bet. But do reach out th EVO.

If you are wanting to stick to a remote reservoir type shock, I think the BILSTEIN B8 5160 series are a decent shock for the price. I would also recommend the monotube Falcon SP2 2.1 series.

Regardless of what you get, finding that Goldilocks space for a shock is a bit tough and subjective.
I use the Falcon SP2 2.1s on mine and absolutely love them

How did you make it ride like mojave- what did you install?
Fox 2.5 elite performance adjustable shocks all around. Just like on the Mojave but adjustable

Agree!
very confident and comfortable at interstate speeds or on the trail. I’m at 70k miles on them and going strong. I like them so well that also went with the steering stabilizer. Pricey but money well spent for me.
