Our Tj drove like a boat on a ruff tide then we got our big tyres and wheels and yukki gas shocks .. its not as bad now but it is still like a boat on water. The gas shocks have no mercy on speed bumps. (we will get the other shocks again when finances permit) ...
I hate driving it on long journeys but I enjoy driving slowly round town.   I am a wimp :-)

I think they are all the same unless you throw loads o dosh at them.

Having just said Procomp are not too good I'll go eat humble pie cos.........
Originally I had the RE supplied shocks all round Doetsh Tech or some'at. Well I rogered them after a few years....
I got hold of a Procomp suspension systems catalogue details about the MX6  adjustable gas shock and because I've got upper shock mounts raised etc I found a CUSTOM APPLICATION...12" travel custom soft valving... (they do 8" and 10" and in medium valving ) part no MX6076   32" extended and 20.25" collapsed.

Most shocks you push in against the fluid and they stay in that position its the weight of the wheel that pulls it out again....

These gas ones push out with a slow but very powerful force. So when off road and stepping off a rock they will push down the wheel to find ground as opposed to just dangle...

On the road it means that they just glide over speed bumps... the back I haven't changed and you can tell ...it's brutal!
Also I run at the softest setting all the time... Its really made a difference....... about £85 a corner......

I guess there's lots of choice out there but sometimes its worth hearing from a user rather than a journalist?!!!
