I have a 2014 4 door Sahara with a 2 inch lift with 35s and only drive on road. My buddy said Bilsteins 5100 but I want a smoother ride. Thanks

Wow so Rancho 5000x have a better ride than the Bilstein 5100, so do the Rancho hold up as well and last a long long time

Yes, yes, and yes.
Like Mikester said if you want the top of the line go for the RS9000 XL - you can adjust it to where ever you want to go!

The best riding shocks I've ever ran (aside from custom tuned Fox shocks) are the Rancho RS5000X shocks. I've run off the shelf Bilstein 5100s, Fox, and OME shocks, and the Rancho RS5000X is by far the smoothest ride of the bunch.

Hey Chris, just curious? Have you experienced the Rancho 5000X shocks on a JK? If so, are they as good as on a TJ?
Yes! My friend has them on his JK and they are indeed just as good as they are on the TJ! I was very impressed to say the least.

No problem! I only wish Rancho would make a better looking shock from an aesthetic standpoint
Well you guys, I was looking for some to put on my 2010 JK Rubicon... Had used Rancho before but couldn't remember if I liked them as well as Skyjacker...think you answered my question...Rancho RS5000X.
