Can someone tell me if blistein 5100's are better than oem rubi shocks? Quality and ride

Yes they are.

When I put the 2.5 Metalcloak on, I ran the stock rubi shocks with extensions for about 2 weeks.

The difference isn't dramatic but it is better and it seems firmer. I know that doesn't seem like it makes sense as firmer you would think makes it rougher. I'm happy with them. As well, running with the extensions just didn't seem like a good idea.

Of coarse but some find the 5100's to be a little harsh. Especially on a 2 door.

Thanks guys!

I have a 2dr. 2012 Rubi, I had them put 2" pucks on at the dealership when i got it last yr. Now I'm and doing the budget boost 18/59's springs which after reading looks like everyone is getting anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 inches of lift. Should I get the blisteins 5100's that go with a 3" lift or 4"? I'm thinking 3"...HELP

If you want an idea of what they feel like, fill up a bag of rocks and then drive around sitting on them for a week.

If I went the Rancho route I'd probably get the 9000's cause they r adjustable and i've owned them in the past for my YJ.

I think adj shocks are a great option. I'm not sure my butt meter is sensitive enough to care about this feature however. We've only run TF shocks in the past and have been happy.

That works
