So after 11 years and 85k miles I think the shocks on the Mrs.' Jeep are done. No lift, 30x9.50x15 BFG TA/KOs, and I get scary dive and twist under hard braking at freeway speeds. It also feels like something in the suspension is loose, like a tire is really low or something.

Does this sound like shocks that need replacing?

What should I replace them with? Stock? Specific brand? Type? I wouldn't mind spending a few extra $$ to get something better. We're not serious off-road, but we like to play in dirt and occasional mud. Lift (probably 2") is a year or two down the road.

Ideas?

Thanks!
