Not really interested in discussion, I’m looking for a simple answer to stop me getting “sea sick“ every time I drive my standard rubicon.
the rear shocks are pathetic.
not interested in full suspension kits or raising, just want some decent rear shocks that I won’t regret buying.
just to get home from holidays I’m going to replace the fox shox with the heaviest oil I can find?

Agree with 5100's I run them in everything... If thats not enough then pick up some Ranchos 9000's and crank them to tightest setting.

What is your complaint with the Rubicon Shock/suspension. Too soft and floaty or too harsh?

I run them on my Gladiator and had them previously on a Tacoma and FJ Cruiser. They are pretty damn stiff.

Too floaty, might as well have no shocks!

I have always been sensitive to motion sicness, but have to admit I really like the ride on my Rubicon. I was super impressed with how it handles the washboards. Sure they're soft and kind of cushy but it beats the hell out of rattling your fillings out. Have you thought about air lift to have a little more control?

People around these parts like the Falcons too. I’m running the Mopar/Fox shocks that come with the Mopar lift.

Bilstein's have been solid for me. I have a full AEV setup and these complement it perfectly.
