Welcome to Allpar. Your best bet is the OEM Bilstein Upcountry shocks. Like the originals.

You can't go wrong by following ImperialCrowns's advice.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll follow your advice. I'm personally not crazy about having blue and yellow shocks on my dark green Jeep, but since it's 18 years old, I care more about what works best on it.

Paint them black .

Sorry to dig this back up, but I wanted to thank everyone who pointed me toward the Bilsteins. I finally got around to putting them on the Jeep and it rides SO much better! Oh, and the blue and yellow isn't as big an issue as I thought it might be, so no black paint needed...

Now, I just need to figure out how to improve the gas mileage! Ha!

Great!
Now, to improve that fuel economy, buy one more shock and install it on the go pedal....

Seriously, a good air cleaner, checking tire air pressure and using the cruise control, will help a bit.

I know this is a really old post but I thought you'd like to know, I put a set of those on our 98 ZJ...in 2002....they have about 120,000 miles on them and the damping is still like new. They are great shocks. I am putting a set of 5100s on my WK Limited....

Good shocks, but I'd seriously question their longevity past 3 years. Seals, o-rings, etc. are all subject to deterioration from simply existing in the atmosphere. Gas pressure will also leak out over time.
