I was tired...
Where I noticed the difference is on bump and rebound. The BM shocks do a much better job of controlling them than the Rubicon Express (aka Bilstein) shocks. For example, when travel across railroad tracks or washboard roads I can hit them at higher speeds before the tail end will get loose. Also, I get more travel out of a shorter shock, so that helped with usable shock travel.@Irun just swapped out similar shocks on an LJ and described it as a small, but noticeable improvement, it'll be interesting to hear your experience. The Black Max shocks sound like a good option.
I'm betting you're going to like these. From my experience thus far, they produce a nicer ride on the TJ than the LJ. Not that the LJ ride is bad, but it is softer than the TJ. To be fair, I've got some control arm bushing issues with the LJ, so that may have something to do with it.Take 2, Thank you for your cooperation.
I guess I'll be joining the experiment

I currently have Biltstien 5100s installed so the Black Max's will be replacing those.
From what has been posted I think most people have received at least one bad shock out of the box. I know I did, but fortunately I caught it before installing.Is it me or are a lot of people getting bad blackmax shock’s ?

How much shock up travel is showing on both the good and bad one? Also, how much lift do you have and which shocks did you buy?So got everything buttoned up with my shocks, TT is complete, came to get the Jeep aligned and hit a couple of speed bumps. My driver rear black max is bottoming out…smh, I think I got a bad shock from them.
Best way to test this out? I’m thinking either try the bounce test jumping on bumper or switching shock sides in the rear…this sucks if it’s blown..
