  • shocks?

    so im going to get the new XJ saturday...anyways ive saved my 3.5" RE lift for the time being/OER anyways gonna need some shocks as the old Jeep had a set of blown ones that were useless. stock travel is 8" if im not mistaken, recommendations for length using said lift? i was thinking 10" shocks. but who knows?

      lol. looking for a cheap set for now. tossed up between the RE kit and the Rough country 2.2s......same price seems like the 2.2s are the better shock though.

                    have fun getting your trailer out of his road. That one fucking 90 degree right hand corner with the big piece of ledge on one side makes things interesting.
