My first wrangler is a 2005 jeep tj with 6spd 2.4l hardtop, 245/75/16 tires on xj icon rims. Bilistein 5100 shocks with a 2" spacer lift 126xxx miles. This is my first wrangler and I see the hype now I love this thing. I daily drive it mostly I dint off road it besides down dirt roads and such. What do you all think? Good or?

Yes, this is a Jeep hate forum. We're all extremely RACIST against Jeeps and some even hate Land Cruisers for no reason as well.
Wranglertjforum started out as a Storm Front subforum before it got kicked off the internet. We're actually on the SPLC hate watch list of bad guys.
May i ask why then you own a tj?
I like watching it slowly rust. Fucking piece of shit Jeep!
I see I see, well tjs do rust real bad so you will be throughouly entertained with it. I see why you bought one
Nice jeep. Good little lift too, any more and it’s a snowball affect. I’m not a fan of bilstein 5100s but I’m a lighter tj than most so they’re extra stiff for me.
Thank you. I bought it as is with the spacer lift but tj shocks were blown out so I got the 5100s and I dont know the difference between the 5100s and anything else. Only thing I can compare it is how it rode with blown out shocks. lol
Boogie must be on vacation… so I’ll say it, no good w/o pictures. ; ). Also, wait until you drive it doors off. Welcome to the forum. Grab a wranglertjforum shirt. https://tj-forum.printful.me/

I replaced a set of Ranch 9000s with Bilsteins and didn’t notice any difference.
Edited to comply with Wrangler TJ Jeep Hater Forum rules:
Crappy Jeep couldn’t have a decent ride no matter what suspension was under it. Total POS filling rattler. My dentist loves it.
Those are also pretty stiff shocks, and your weight might be enough they’re not as terrible but also being a 4cyl I’d expect a different shock to preform better.
