I wish I had gone with the skyjacker nitro shocks when I replaced them on my XJ in stead of the hydros.

a decent set of hydros will work just fine, but comparing hydros to nitros is like comparing a honda civic to a ferrari...obviously one is better then the other, but it also cost ALOT more

It also makes a difference on the type of Jeep you drive.
Hydros on a Jeep with 4 leaf springs will ride softer than if you used Nitros. I really liked the hydro DT3000 shocks I had on my '89 Wrangler.

honestly, on a short wheel base vehicle like a jeep, it will only matter on road, off road, don't mean a lick of a difference. If it is a trail vehicle, I would go with NAPA cheapo's and save some cash for something else, if it is a DD that sees only a little trail use, go with the Nitrogen charged shocks.

I'm running the rustys hydro's and have been very pleased with them. I believe they are the same as a lot of other companies, RK clayton rough country porc etc, there are only a few shock manufactures out there.
I hit my shocks on rocks quite frequently so I need something cheaply replaceable.
