Jk shocks
Hello everybody!
I have just had a budget lift with add a leaf back for 4,5cm and coil spacers on the front for 3cm, and my old shocks are crap.. I have some stock jk rubicon shocks and I want to put them on and put off my back sway bar.. What do you guys think? Will they work well, or I’m going to destroy them?

I have JK rubicons on my XJ (1.75" spacer in the front and new leaf springs on the back) and they're great. They are stiff shocks, so if I had a do-over, I might have used JK regular shocks, but as far as function - you're good to go.
Pulling the bushings out of the JK shocks is a bit of a pain, but the shocks are so good it's worth the effort.

Put them on, you may have to bumpstop if you actually mean cm not inches. they work well. search on here and there is a huge thread detailing exactly how to set them up.
