Default New shocks

I finally replaced the over-soft weak stock shocks over the weekend. Got a nice set of Bilstein HD truck shocks all around. They are much stiffer than the originals, but the ride isn't a lot firmer. The big benefit is that it doesn't want to swap lanes when you hit a bump anymore. The tires stay planted to the pavement much better than before. I highly recommend these shocks if you are looking for a good replacement shock.
Part numbers for my 2008 2wd QC are
Front - F4-BE5-6927-H0
Rear - F4-BE5-2550-H1

I put those on a WJ I had a while back. They're nice. I had the 5150 series Bilsteins on my other WJ and they were super supple, but check out the warranty on the high end stuff. Boooo.

Those HD shocks are great though.

The truck feels a bit more stable now. I'm happy with them.
