Default Which Shock to choose

I need to replace the back shockers on my 2006 TJ.
I am on a budget now, so this is what I'm looking at.
Rancho RS5000
Ironman Nitro Gas
Tough Dog Nitro Gas, and the
RAW shocks.
Does anyone have any experience with any of these brands, and would you recommend any of them. Or is there a better option out there.
Jeep has King Springs which has lifted it about an inch. Mostly used on road with occasional mild off road.

no experience with any of the above and I guess with limited funds will limit your choices. but you also get what you pay for

my choice a few years ago were Old Man Emu Nitrochargers, unbelievably good over corrugated roads. a choice I have no regrets making

I have a set of Rancho RS9000 adjustable shocks for a TJ Wrangler with a 3" lift with under 10,000 clicks on them = $500

If you're on a budget get these



Thay will cost you under 250 AU landed and they are tuned for the TJ

I bought & fit adjustable rancho 9000's on the back & monroe gas on the front of my stock 2006 TJ 26000kms ago have worked well together when theres a bit of weight in the back, also got a pair of moog antisway bar stabiliser arms for the rear bar (plastic ones shot) made a noticeable improvement.

Well, I know you get what you pay for, so after thinking long and hard, and while the missus is in bed I ordered a set of Rancho RS9000XL's. I will let you know what a TJ is like to sleep in.
