I do not mean well at all.
Bilstein 5100s ride rough

If you filled out more profile information about your Jeep it would help us answer questions. Is this a stock Jeep with the 31’s or do you have a little lift?
He? I thought for a moment it was a she! If it’s a she pink springs will help soften things up.
Just tell them what they want to hear, nothing else works anyway.
All roads lead to Metalcloak “true dual rate” springs
Patagonias are the best tire. There are guys running all over Moab with them.
And 33s are the perfect tire size.
I’m running them up front. They were the best choice to set the front height where I wanted it. So far they seem good.All roads lead to Metalcloak “true dual rate” springs
You just got the wrong ones.
"I have Bilstein 4600's. The ride is on the soft side."

comedians........what profile info is missing?
All the modifications done. Which lift and how much, winch, bumpers, spare tire carrier, tire size, hard top. Most of use have 4.0s and your 2.4 is lighter. The overall weight of your TJ is a big factor on ride quality. My 2.5” OME lift rides like a dream off road but is squishy on the freeway. My YJ with a 2.5” Tough Country leaf spring lift rides like a buck board.

all my info is there, I don't know what else you need to know
What would I do? I'd do what I AM doing, running the 5100s that came on my jeep. I have bigger fish to fry.
Look at the bright side: these shocks make your jeep handle like a sports car. I can Tokyo Drift with the best of 'em!
You're stock, so Just go to Post #20, click on the link, read the charts and decide what travel you want relative to stock height. The information is all right there.
I had the 5100's on a previous Jeep (JKU) and they also rode like crap. Got rid of them after a few months and got Fox (recommended).
The Teraflex shocks 9550(?) were much worse than the Bilstein.

Well hell. I can't get Ramonas profile stuff! Dang it!I thought H&R springs gave a 1" lift? That's something.
