Just got mine! :rock on:
full cherokee set of 6" edelbrock extreme travel external reservoir shocks (monotubes)
front length;
compressed....18.5"
extended....29.5"
rear length;
compressed....will update when I measure
extended....will update when I measure
comes with:
mounting hardware for reservoirs (I chose not to use their bolts for that...used them for the front shock lower bolts)
mounting straps for reservoirs
zip-tie for covers
1 large decal each shock, one small decal each set (front, rear)
the rears come with a bar pin like cherokees use in the rear. I took it out and utilized my stock upper mounts and the lower mounts I had put on. Need to bump stop rear by about 2" then do some flex tests with the thing and probably build triangulated rear mounts.
the fronts mount like stock shocks...bar pin lower, with a bolt on the upper as normal. I left that system alone. These shocks only allow around 4" of up travel, so at 6.5" I need to bump stop by about 3 to 3.5"
pics of all 4 shocks

old rough country fronts compared to edelbrock shocks

front shocks, and how I mounted them. the reservoirs will be covered by the factory splash guard to keep them from getting damaged, and the line needs to be secured. also, because I drilled through into the cab to mount the reservoirs, I will need to waterproof that part of the cab.



rear shocks and how I mounted the reservoirs. I have come down on rocks in that area before...but with the storage I'm building there, there will be a skid plate in that area to protect them.


my opinions on the road ride...
GREAT!. easily 10 times better than the rough country shocks. no more jerky ride. the rear shocks I used to have failed, so every bump would kick the **** end of the truck up in the air. not anymore. it drives like it's factory height with nice shocks...you feel the bumps, but not much. cracks in the pavement you hardly notice.
I'll post some flex info on them when I get the bump stops taken care of


here's a link to them the sale is around 70% off so my $1000 worth of shocks cost me $260 shipped. they are clearing inventory.

Those are some nice shocks!! Sounds like a great deal too!!

 

this was an awesome deal for those who took advantage of it! theyre canceling a lot of orders now, probably just about out of stock over there at ebrock. just watch out you dont rip that hose off with your front tire.

 

yep. the bumpstops will take care of the hose problem, but I'm also building new upper mounts that move up one more inch, and when I do that I will think of a new way to route it.

does anyone know if I can take the hose off and put it through a hole, or if it will leak all over the place? (idk if it has an auto shutoff or anything in it)

 

nope, dont pull that off, youll discharge the shock.

 

k. that's pretty much what I figured.

one rear shock in the two sets I have does not extend...need to get edelbrock to send a new one before they run out of stock.

 

look killer let us know how they work out and that was a great deal

 

funny, youre like the 3rd person who has done this deal and has gotten a bad shock. good luck with getting a replacement

 

are you saying they won't send a replacement?

 

No, i wasn't implying anything. just offering luck lol.

 

ok lol thanks.

was gonna be mad. hopefully they'll send a replacement (and hopefully they won't demand an exchange...I'd like to try rebuilding this one for a trail spare
