Small jumps, fast sections, and rock crawling are 3 completely different things. I have limited knowledge of jumps because I only have experience with rock crawling. Even small jumps can ruin your shocks (bottom out) and other components.
Rock crawling is more about articulation/travel. The job of the shock is to provide comfort and extend as much as possible. Reservoir shocks help with that and with speed. The shocks will heat up as you're using them. The res helps cool them down so they provide consistent comfort all day and don't fade.
When you get into articulation/travel, they are supposed to have as much length as possible. Bump stops will prevent them from destroying your fender flares and such. The control arms are what controls the geometry.

Good to know, probably won't get King. I've never had anything from them, but have heard they are high end, though expensive.
Haven't heard of Ride CO. I did have the shocks on my Jeep tuned by Accutune, would definitely get shocks from them, or tuned by them.
The Bilstein I had were the basic 5100. Didn't like the ride, too harsh. Plus they leaked. I received new ones through an RMA that also leaked. Switched to Fox and haven't had anything else since.
I see a few are getting the Eibach CO kits and are happy with them. I'm considering those too.
That seems to be a popular reply lately. I'll get some better finished pics but I only took pics of problem spots along the way. RC was really good about responding to every question quickly. I'll be out for a few hours and can then explain further if anyone is interested.

I have yet to do anything as of yet.
Im looking at this kit.

Exact same kit I just installed. Dang, that's a great price. RK does sales but they are only 15% off. That's over 20%. FYI, Rock Krawler does not stock the coilovers and shipping for mine was more than 2 months. I really just finished yesterday and got to bomb around a bit. I would say it is a tad better so far than the sasquatch bilsteins.
My reason for doing a full lift kit was to get the extra travel and still maintain a good ride with 37's. I picked up 1.5" droop in the front which is about all you can do with any kit. Picked up some up travel as well but didn't get a great measurement. In the rear I picked up 4" of droop. Well, only 3" passenger but that's a longer story. If you decide to pull the trigger there are a few more things you should know.
