OME have a more smooth response than pro-comps and they are not so stiff as them.
Tell me your height to tell you shock codes.
Also the rancho rs5000 or the rs9000xl with the last one being adjustable are an excellent choice.
I have OME's in my jimny since i start making mods and are the best for me.
My next will be rancho rs9000xl with my ride system to adjust them from inside.

It is less stiff then my previous setup - king spring with monroe adventure HD shocks - which is less stiff then the stock setup.

All, I'm a newbie to this forum however I've had previous experience in using the 'Bilstein' Shock absorbers. They have a superb reputation for build quality and longevity. They make both road performance variants and Off road performance variants. Has anyone got any personal experiences with a Jimny Bilstein set up that they'd like to share?
These would be the go too for me based on my previous experience with Bilstein.
