That's what I planned on ordering, wondering if anyone has cheaper used ones. I thought zone doesn't sell that stuff separate?

Why waste money on shocks that aren't going to perform as well as a Bilstein Shock?
Do search and see how many people agree...Bilstein FTW!

Well worth saving up for!

True! If you want a better than 90% of the shocks out there performer, Bilstein is the way to go. If you are budget conscious, there are lots of alternatives, but few decent budget minded options that will satisfactorally do the job.
Have a blessed and prosperous day!
Namaste,

The rears will be different. You would have to use a BPE and then you will shorten the required shock by 1.5". I would go to Rough Country's site and see if you can determine the shock specifics before you pull the trigger on those. Dirt cheap is great if you don't have to get others when the product fails to work for your application.
Good luck!

I very well could be wrong, please correct me if i am. but you wont need any BPE for the rear. ZJs dont have bar pins in the rear shocks, they are open eyes top and bottom. like XJs right? they only have bar pins in the fronts on the lower.
and can you please ellaborate how adding BPEs will shorten the shock by 1.5 inch? when i put the BPEs on mine the shock sat at least 3/4 in higher then when i had stock shocks with bar pins.
I'm not trying to be a dick, it wont hurt my feelings if you dont buy these i would like to gain some education on what you are saying so i know.

XJ's have bar pins in the top on the rears, and bar pins on the front axle side. BPE's are recommended when replacing the rear because of their consistancy of the bolts snapping the stock location every time you change them out.. BPE's would keep him from having to press bar pins into the tops.
