You folks are right about shock absorber choice

The RC N3 shocks ride just as stiff and will save you money, since most people are giving them away.
I already got RC springs.....I WOULDN'T want the shocks to match lmao
I'd want something stiffer like the ORO dual rate swaybar (which I'm gonna get later on.)
(From what ive read)A good set of custom tuned shocks would somewhat "eliminate" the need for a swaybar but I don't got it like that just yet....
Edit- Can't spell
You can get the Antirock pretty stiff. I can't tell the difference where mine is set vs the stock sway bar.
I'm planning on 14" King coilovers when I stretch and 3 link the front, hopefully next spring.
He'll yeah brother
I'm doing something light for the time being. Savvy 3 link truss but keeping it short arm. I got everything I need just need time
Building up an hp30 so I decided since it's at bare tubes it wouldn't cost me much time to just do a 3 link setup
You need to dig pretty deep to find the perceivelable difference in roll between the 4 link and 3 link from the driver's seat. However, you can easily find a difference between two different sets of shocks.
That assertion requires a bit more nuance. Shocks can absolutely take on the role of mitigating body roll we are typically using sway bars to address. Do that and you have shifted the purpose of the sway bars further towards balancing out the suspension to keep pushing traction into the ground.
Very few have the understanding and recognition that a well tuned set of shocks can completely and entirely transform how the Jeep behaves and performs across the board. Everything changes.

Alright, let me put it another way. Stop listening to folks who have their heads up their ass and comment only to disparage a product in order to sell their own. How's that, work better for you?
I have bilsteins, but they replaced the Skyjacker M95 monotube shocks that came with my lift that must have been charged to 350psi. until they got freed up, the first couple blocks were like no suspension at all. terrible.
I've run 5100s on a bunch of different vehicles, and i guess i'm used to them. I also have a 2022 bronco with the bilstein "sasquatch" suspension that I'm pretty sure is a resurrection of the old 5150 bils which had a fixed piggyback reservoir.
On the TJ the ride is much more comfortable when loaded down than with just me, on the verge of under damped in the rear. Compared to the previous skyjacker shocks, they were a big improvement. I've been thinking about giving the ranchos a shot at some point to see how much better they ride, they are certainly at an attractive price point.

Do the front like we discussed. Unless you are exceptionally aware of minute differences in how your rig drives, you won't be able to tell the difference.
I have had them on few Jeeps and they're okay. I'm going to try the Skyjacker Black Max next. They're @macleanflood approved.
Skyjacker is a brand I’ve never even look into. Every time I hear of them all I can picture is a 70-80’s truck with 2 at each corner, dual steering stabilizers, Ground Hawgs, Smittybuilt, KC chrome lights, mullets and blade sunglasses. I’m sure they’ve evolved since then, I just haven’t ever entertained looking into them.
