another shock question
 

in the process of getting my jeep ready to go to trucksgonewild in november. my front shocks are gone. im now running 2" in spacers. another member here told me that 93-98 Grand Cherokee V8 Upcountry shocks are a direct bolt in and are about 30 bucks each. anyone got the part number. if not what is a shock i can get at parts store that is direct bolt in and is good for a 2-3 inch lift? thanks

I thought the up country was only 1 inch more than a stock xj,I also think GC are 1 or 1.5 longer also. Anyone know for sure on this.You could get away with it if you have bpe I beleive. Isn't the up country the factory lifted xj?

see below

with up country you can have up to 4.5" up front without spacers.Jeep Cherokee Suspension - XJ Budget Lift - "How-To" Lift Your Jeep Cherokee XJ 4" on a Budget

The Ford or UpCountry Grand Cherokee coils will get you 2"... add the poly spacer & you're at 4"... If you plan to upgrade later then you can keep the spacer & swap in 3" XJ coils for more height & flex.
This is what it said for the upcountry now I know its for the G/C so according to this you can use those shocks cause these springs will get you 2 inches. Thanks for that article A737mech.

The guy that told you that is right the up country springs give 2 inches in height so you have 2 inch polys your all set.:thumbup1:

thanks. i read that before but read over the part number. it says the zj upcountry shocks are 3 inches longer and bolt right in.thx

Up country spring will only get you 2 inches right?

im looking for shocks not coils right now

You could get RC shocks for 29.95,I just got a set and I really like em,They have them for lots of different lift heights too

i dont have a lot of time to order but maybe. whats the part number? link?

I realize that guy I just saying that the up country springs only give you 2 inches of lift and not 4.5, so the guy that told you that the G/C up country shocks will work is right so you should be able to go order shocks for the g/c upcountry package it should show up in the computor.
