Intended use? Stock jeep? Lifted? We need details for accurate recommendations. Crawling? Desert running? Trips to the mall?
It’s on a 3.5 inch lift I believe with 37s. It my daily driver, I got on dirt roads here and there but for the most part I’m going to work and school

Of your two choices, ... King.

I've used off the shelf King 2.5" non-adustable shocks on a JL. And I've used Fox 2.5" DSC adjustable shocks from Accutune on a JL. And I've used Fox 2.5" Internal Bypass shocks on a JT. I liked the King shocks better.

Agree with Aces - just commuting, get the bilsteins. Don’t waste your money on high end off road shocks if that isn’t what you’re going to use it for.

Or even metalcloak rock sports. Super soft like the oem shocks. The only reason I swapped them out on our 2019 on 37s was they didn't dampen enough hitting big bumps in the desert at high speeds. On the street and even rock crawling they were great.

Compare the cost of the shocks and then look at how much it will cost to rebuild them.
I’m on 5100s. On road and trails, they ride better than stock, IMHO

No reason to put drag tires on a Ferrari that you drive to and from work.

I'll second @Zandcwhite here. The Rocksports have been great on mine. If you don't have a front driveshaft, you'll definitely need it though. The amount of travel these have is wild for the price tag.
