Default What Shocks?
G'Day all!

We have a JK Unlimited CRD and we have put some 4" Springs in here to get her a little more skyward. At the moment we have Procomp ES6000 Shocks however these are a little hard for the young fello (6 months old) and any bump on the highway is transmitted really harshly into the cab (I normally prefer a still suspension set up but with the little man, well, we need to got it a tad softer!)

So, my question is, what shock do people recommend for a softer ride in the JK unlimited. I have narrowed my choices to:
- Bilstein
- Full Traction
- Procomp MX6 Adjustables

Any advise?

are sure its not the springs. Often you will find the springs do alot of the work more so than the shocks and could be hard springs

does anyone know about the Ranco9000 in Cab Adjustable Shocks?
Good Bad Ugly?
I was hoping adjustables will help on corrigations i.e. set you best speed and Shocks for the smoothest ride. I have Fulltraction-
M-Force Performance Gas Monotube shocks. But looking to change to Ranco.

Any input Guys (n Gals)?
