I'm getting ready to put 2.5" under the libby :D and I am wondering what shocks are being used, how you like them and part #'s if available. Thanks

Rancho RSX17505 for the front and OME N132 for the rear

the Rancho RSX17004 is also for the rear and several people use them.

Rancho 17505's up front(like already stated) and the rear Rancho 17004's will give you more flex then the OME N132's.You can get the OME N132L's only at AllJ's that are KJ specific(the 17004's are rear stock Durango shocks) with the extra length that the N132's don't have(which is alot).I prefer the Rancho's over the OME's for the firmer ride,the OME's are to mushy for me and my heavy KJ.

Hey I appreciate all the input. I really want OME but a little out of my price range right now so I will either get Skyjacker or Procomp's for now and when I do the front's I'll do OME all around.
