I would like to replace the shock absorbers on my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport. Can you recommend Bilstein Shocks ? I have read so many good reviews about it. |

They are very good shocks indeed but they cost a little more than some of the other brands. A good place to purchase shocks is ShockWarehouse! |

I have Bilstein 5100s and they are good but run a bit harsh on rough roads (washboard and small bumps) because they are digressive shocks so small fast movement it is very stiff. I would suggest running Fox or King shocks. If you're not doing anything high speed I would suggest a Fox 2.0 or King 2.0 smoothie. These are both progressively valved and will ride much better. They are also rebuildable and tuneable. tldr; Digressive shocks are bad at small bumps and large bumps, but good at handling and g-outs. Progressive shocks are good at small bumps and big hits, but bad at handling and g-outs. Linear shocks provide the best all around performance. |

Our take on shocks, seems to point towards the TJM gold edition shocks as these have been designed specifically for extreme off road in harsh conditions of Australia. We've run a set of their newest shocks on our jeep for about 1 year and haven't had any issues. SummitRacing has these same shocks on sale because of their 50th anniversary event going on now. |

Bilstein is a good replacement as well as the OME, Rancho and Fox shocks. |
