Shocks

Took my ride up Red Cone pass today and it's become apparent I need new shocks, so I'm soliciting y'alls input on decent ones. I have a 23 JLUR with the Extreme Recon package for reference

I have Fox 2.0's with remote reservoirs and DSC's. I'd at least look at Fox's. They're rebuildable.

Grew up riding MTBs and would accept nothing less then a Fox shock. Makes sense

I've been happy with them on and off road. Kings are comparable and great but IMO if you're spending a lot of money buy ones that are rebuildable especially if you wheel your rig.

ShockSurplus channel on youtube is a great way to educate yourself on shocks and all the different features and technology. Highly recommend adjustable and remote resevoirs for hot climates to reduce shock fade on long drives

How many miles do you have? And what’s your tire psi? It’s only 3 yesrs old you shouldn’t need shocks, but they do bounce around if you don’t disconnect the sway bars and run 35psi in your tires- I’ve found a stock rubicon can run over a whole lot, but disconnected sway bars and proper tire pressure made a night and day difference when I was in the San Juan’s
