Default POLL: Cant Decide between two Shocks

Hi, got another question. I am trying to decide between the Rancho 5000 shocks or the Pro Comp 9000's any input would be greatly appreciated. I have a 2wd so off road performance isnt that big of a deal to me. Thanks!

I do not know if any shocks can be any stiffer than how my ride is now. What do you recommend, I was hoping around the same price range. The bilstein's I hear would be great for me but are far too pricey. Thanks

thats funny about the RS5000 being stiff... I pulled them off because they were too soft for me on my Grand Cherokee...

i'd recommend the edelbrock performer shock... they are excellent. put them on the wifes 2x4 dak and she loves them! I love them and will put them on whatever needs shocks next...

I also am interested in the edelbrock's but they are way too expensive for me
