    Hey everyone, I have a 05 rubicon, I’m replacing the shocks but I have a completely rounded bolt on the bottom front shock I tried hammering a 12mm socket onto it with no luck what’s the next best solution. I’m not worried about preserving hardware or bolts. The bolt that is rounded is the...

    Is this mystery activity a problem? Jumping with shifting

    I don’t know what to call this but I’m wondering if it’s normal, a problem, or a serious problem.. The Thing: when I’ve got my foot on the brake, release parking brake, start it, give it a few minutes, and shift to reverse it does a hissing clunk and the height level of the Jeep rises, then...

    King coilover reassembly

    I removed my reservoir off of my 2.5 king coil overs to mock up some things and i lost hydraulic fluid. Can i simply add some more king hydraulic fluid in the shock at full droop and reservoir and reassemble? or do i need to have the shocks disassembled and bled? appreciate any input.

    Question about shocks and installing lift kit

    I recently bought a 4in Currie lift and I want to buy some Rancho rs5000x shocks to pair with it but I wasn't sure what size to get. I was reading up on forums and learned you should cycle your suspension to find the exact shock length you need. So I was wondering, should I install the lift...

    SOLD Rancho 5000x RS55239 front shocks

    I bought this set from a member here when everything needed for my lift showed up except for these two shocks. The new shocks showed up shortly after. So these have the 1000 or so miles he put on them and no extra from me. I touched up the paint right away so there's no rust and have them in...

    Improving my ride quality on my 2006 TJ

    Hey all, had my jeep for almost two years now and I’m looking for feedback on improving my ride quality off road. I know the short wheel base is a big factor but it would be nice to be able to go out and keep up with my buddies in their trucks. here’s my current suspension setup: 3.5 in RE...

    Bumpy ride (do I need new shocks?)

    Newbie here! This is My first Wrangler (bought Her off craigslist a few months ago). She is a 2002 2DR Tj, 4.0 I6 manual, I think a 2in lift with 32" tires. Great condition mechanically (my mechanic said she drives great and the engine is fantastic for her age). I have taken her off road a few...

    Need opinions on lifts

    Im searching for a 2.5" suspension kit, I have seen the 4 shocks and 4 springs from Rough Country but I need opinions. Usually drive my TJ on unpaved roads and offroading, is there another brand you recommend for a softer ride? Also mid budget.

    Why would the previous owner have Skyjacker H7051S rear shocks installed?

    So I recently purchased a 2000 TJ. This is my first Jeep and so far really enjoying the new ride. I recently took it off-road in the UP of MI, this is actually why I bought it. I was the only Jeep in the group, lots of side-by-sides and quads. I was able to keep pace without issue but did run...

    Selling new 3” Zone lift with Bilstein 5100 3” lift shocks and RC adjustable front track bar. Fits 97-06. Located near Pittsburgh, PA I bought the lift, sold the included shocks and bought the 5100s because IMO they are impossible to beat for the money. I paid a little over 1000, Asking 600...

    Educate me on shocks

    Currently I have a 2” OME lift, and if I wanted to get 3” springs, the shocks would over extend, right? I also have a 1.25” body lift so I don’t want to go any higher with that. If I can’t use the OME shocks with taller springs, what’s a good combo of springs and shocks for a 3 or 3.5” lift?

    Leaking OME Nitrocharger shock?

    I noticed a spot on the floor in my garage indicating a small leak from somewhere. I did a little investigating and it seems that it's coming from the bottom of the front driver's side shock. The color and consistency of the liquid is light yellow, and feels a little oily. I searched a bit and...

    Bilstein 5100 tire cupping

    Looking for some advice on tire cupping. Took my 2000 TJ in for an alignment and they said I have some slight cupping up front. The shop said probably due to the shocks - I have BIlstein 5100’s all around. The shocks are 5 years old and probably have about 20k - 30k miles on them so I don’t...

    Can I use the shocks from my previous lift on a new lift?

    This is probably a stupid question but I figured I might as well ask. I have a 2” OME lift on my Jeep right now, as well as a 1.25” BL. I like how the shocks ride, but I wanted some more height so I’m planning to buy the Zone 4.25 combo lift. Could I keep the OME shocks?
