Shock absorbers Bilstein or GABRIEL

I put 5100s on my GX. Very pleased. I’d call it a nice balance of comfort/sport.

Bilstein are the best bang for the buck.

5100s were inexpensive and an easy upgrade that totally changed the driving character of the truck on and off road.

Bilstein 5100s with proper travel (measure your old ones) then send them into Bilstein and give them your Jeep specs and what you use it for and they will tune them for you for free (you cover the shipping).

If you're just trying to level you could try a set of adjustable height Bilstein shocks. That Rancho looks like it's leaking as you've already described.

Qmulus that is a great tip for removing that bolt. When I put my Golf R control arms and Audi solid rear bushings on our 2013 tiguan I lowered the sub frame because I was installing the dead set kit at the same time. Along with HD Bilstein shocks.

Best thing I did was put Bilstein 5100's on it in place of the Ranchos.

As was mentioned already, the Bilstein B4 is available for the front and rear of the Atlas. I have a full set of B4s on my mkV Jetta and they are fantastic. Quite firm but still comfortable. They rebound once and the party's over, unlike the Atlas which pogos down the road.

I just did the 5100's at 2". I also have a +0 offset wheel (this matters). My 275/70R17's rub the mudflap at full turn when entering a driveway.

I put the 5100 on my 15 Terrain, I don't like them much. I am mostly hwy driving. They're so stiff, you can feel every crack in the road. The nose dive at corners is gone, but very stiff.
