Are these decent shocks for our JLU? Any other suggestions for a similar price (around $400 for the set)

Bilstiens are typically a little on the firm side but excellent shocks. 5100's are for lifted vehicles, longer than stock. The yellow 4600's are for stock height.Are these decent shocks for our JLU? Any other suggestions for a similar price (around $400 for the set)
is your jeep rubicon stock height? if so which height in the 5100 did you get? im looking at those shock nowI just bought a full set of 5100's for my JLUR, once I get some time under them, I will report back.
No, I had the TeraFlex 1.5" spacer lift installed with the Bilstein 5100's, I chose the 2" to 3" lift length shocks.is your jeep rubicon stock height? if so which height in the 5100 did you get? im looking at those shock now
Any update on these shocks? How do you like them? Did they improve the ride on the road?No, I had the TeraFlex 1.5" spacer lift installed with the Bilstein 5100's, I chose the 2" to 3" lift length shocks.
They rode a bit stiff for me, but not too bad. I ended up finding a good deal on a set of Mopar fox shocks and those rode much better for my use case though, otherwise I would still be rocking the 5100's.Any update on these shocks? How do you like them? Did they improve the ride on the road?
A bit stiff as in jarring on road? I'm mainly interested in taming that side to side head shaking body roll. I prefer slightly springy suspension that rebounds quickly like a sports car, as long as it's not harsh.They rode a bit stiff for me, but not too bad.

I would not consider it Jarring, but slightly stiff instead. These shocks did well when it came to taming body roll in my opinion.A bit stiff as in jarring on road?
