    I'm looking to replace the rear shocks on my '99 Limited. I use my runner for dirt roads, logging roads, and don't plan on doing heavy rock crawling. Can anyone recommend anything for under $150 a pair? It's factory height and I don't plan on lifting it. I bought this for back road exploring. Thanks in advance!

    Looks like I'll be going with the Bilstein 5100 shocks and struts for front and rear. I searched extensively for a good quality, longer lasting shock/strut that would work well for highway and the dirt trails, while staying in the $400 per set (all 4) range, and these seem to fit the bill.
