    Oregon Bilstein Shocks

    @ EJS, I won a Bilstein Gift Certificate for a set of 4 shocks that I don’t need. Know anyone or anywhere I can trade for cash or something else or should I just post it up on marketplace/craigslist? B6 4600, B8 5160 or other

    I have a 1998 with Rusty’s 3inch lift (2010)5100 bilsteins in the rear (2012) and Rusty’s shocks in the front. A quick disconnect was installed. All this by the first owner. I notice it can sway and bounce a lot on roadways with bumps. Might be just a Jeep thing/ lifted. Would you think the...

    Shock advice

    The ride on my TJ SUCKS. Like my wife refuses to ride in it. I’m almost certain it’s the shocks. They look like rough country possibly. I popped a lower rear end off to see if they were possibly worn out. OMG! I’m not a small nor weak guy and it took both hands, flat on my back pushing with all...

    Thoughts on upgrading a 2" lift for LJ

    Hello I have an 05 auto LJ that has been lifted 2" for the past 4 years now. I used 2" coil spacers on the front & 3/4" spacers on the rear along with the original springs. I also added some type of Rancho Shocks then but cannot remember the model. I later replaced the PO's nonoriginal rims...

The lift is a bit too much for what I would like, and I found a set of stock TJ shocks and springs for sale. The only problem is a believe...

    Real Upper Coil Spring Bucket

    Newer owner here. The images show my rear upper coil spring buckets. I understand they are very rusted, but I am wondering how safe or "correct" this is. How urgent is it that I get new buckets installed? Thanks

    I am in the process of swapping my Dana 35 for a Dana 44 and have gotten control arms and trackbar connected and bolts tightened loosely when I just noticed something on this axle that I picked up. The shock brackets seem to be clearly aftermarket and installed incorrectly. Well, maybe not...

    3 1/4 lift with 32s and stock rims

    Would my tires rub with the stock rims(rims are painted) on 32’s if I add a 3 1/4 life (springs and shocks), body lifts are kinda out of the picture it’s got an automatic transmission and is my daily driver with the six cylinder, Dana 44 rear and 3.73 gearing.
