Probably going to need to go to a junk yard. There's a great one in Phoenix AZ full of old TJs.

Hey everybody, it's starting to cool down in Phoenix finally. I hopped into the TJ and it's making a noise I can't put my finger on. Here's a video. Anyone have any ideas?

Update post: Alright folks! New shocks and coils went on the front today. I was a little over-optimistic thinking we could do the front and rear the same day. We started by removing the old coils and shock, then cycled the suspension with the mew shocks so we could set bump-stop length. I...

OK, I've decided that just to be safe and spare myself a bunch of trouble I'm going to go ahead and buy 2" lift coils as well. Can I get away with just doing 2" shocks and coils or are there other mods I need to make as well?

So is the consensus here that the 239s will or wont work for my current 1" lift?

Ok! After reading this and going out and taking measurements, I feel like I have a way better idea what i'm doing now. Here's what I found. Right now, my front shock at ride height is about 18.5 inches. I hopped on the rancho website, and it looks like there are a few shocks that would work in...

I think the reason im so confused is that the ranchos are what Chris recommends in this post for a 2 inch lift but the listings on amazon all sat it wont work for a 2" lift.

These are the shocks most folks recommend around here for city driving with occasional off-road. I'm currently trying to find a set that works with my lift. https://www.amazon.com/Rancho-RS5000X-Gas-Shocks-set/dp/B01963XI50/?tag=wranglerorg-20

Does anyone know if these will work with a 0-2" lift? https://www.amazon.com/Rancho-RS5000X-Gas-Shocks-set/dp/B01963XI50/?tag=wranglerorg-20

Good to see you again Mac! Can you point toward some instructions on how to do that?

The problem I'm having is that it doesn't look like Rancho makes a shock for 0-2" lift.

Hey folks! I'm back after taking a break from working on the jeep through the hottest part of the Arizona summer. My brother and I just finished replacing the rear drum brakes yesterday and my 98' is finally mostly safe to drive again. That being said, it's past time to replace the shocks on...

Yes, the rear pistons are leaking and accordingly I don't have braking pressure. No, of course I'm not driving it.

Thanks for your reply! It turned out that the rear brake pistons are broth pretty shot. I still haven't replaced them because it's so hot outside right now I don't want to do it lol

Hey Jeep Community! So I posted a while back about losing brake pressure. The fine folks at Meineke told me the rear driver-side piston was blown and it was time to do both rear drums. I trust these guys but the quote was a little high. It's summer time in Phoenix so working on the jeep has...
