Default What Shocks is everyone using for their lifted XJ

Hi

I currently run Rancho 9 way adjustables front and 5 way adjustables rear, i dont use the settings so I will get rid of them and get some comfort shocks.

I want to get some new shocks and I am thinking nitro charger made by old man emu i think, they are on my TJ which are really comfortable.

What are some of you with similar lifts like my XJ running....?

I have Old Man Emu and am fairly happy although I havent had anything else so cant really compare. I find them a touch soft off road but I suppose you cant have it both ways. I have the long travel.

you have a lift similar to mine, any chance of a part number on the shocks for me, I know the L stands for long but there are so many different lengths it would help if someone could look at the part number on the shock for me, i would appreciate it.

Im running Rancho 9000sx on the rear and Rancho RSX up front. They are great. I run mine at 4 - 5 on the road during normal driving, like to and from work. Towing the camper I run them on 9. Off road run them at 0.

Why don't you use the adjustment?
