Hello!

I recently purchased a 03 rubicon. I believe it has a 6'' Rubicon express lift with Fox shocks on it. However the shocks look long overdue for a rebuild or replacement.

My question is:

Rebuild my current shocks (Sending them back to fox for a rebuild. $125 ea.
[FOX 2.0 X 8.0 PERFORMANCE SERIES SMOOTH BODY RESERVOIR SHOCK]

or

Buy new 5100 series bilstien shocks.

My jeep is mainly for off-road use. So Im more interested in off-road performance of the shock then how it rides, as it is only driven on the road to the spot to play. I can supply more info at request if needed.

I would cycle your axles full droop and stuffed, measure, bumpstop, and buy shocks based on your measurements. The bilstein 5100s are a good choice though.

How long have the Fox shocks been on the Jeep ? I've had mine for about 6 years and they are going strong. And I wheel the crap out of my Jeep. I would also advise on measuring to make sure you have the correct length shock but then I'd have the Foxes rebuilt because mine have been worry free. I consider Fox a better shock them Bilsteins.

I would get a brand new set of shocks. Besides Bilstein's are good as well and will last for many years.

Okay, get new shocks and send the Foxes to me, I'll pay the postage !
