KYB Monomax shocks
yesterday I installed some KYB Monomax on a stock 95 cherokee and have to say SHOCKS need to be replace more often than people think. Blisteins might be better but for the price these are very good.
I got these from the Shockwarehouse but then find them on Amazon for a bout 40$ cheaper a set of 4. $178 shipped it actually raised the jeep up alittle also. |
Shocks dont provide any lift height, sorry.

Wouldn't think so. But with VERY WEAK springs and shocks charged at 280+psi.........
Anyways,I've had Monomax on my '96 for 3yrs or so. Perfect for what I needed a shock to do. GREAT price at Amazon by the way. |

Maybe some BAD floorpans. Gabriel offers their Hijacker air adjustable shock for the XJ.

The height is about the same after driving.
Rockauto.com has the same part # for a 95 XJ so I went by the part numbers on Amazon as it listed a 97 and above. EZ installed and ride is better on the street. Havent drivin on logging roads Yet. Rockauto has the monomax as a cheaper shock then the Gas A Just.Figure that one? The KYB site says the Monomax is a "Gas A Just" on steroids. I know back in the Day the Gas A just was used on Datsun 510 Rally Cars So figured KYB would be good enough on a stock height XJ. I know Bilsteins are about 360 psi but didnt think I needed that good a shock for just a logging road Jeep. Price is good at 179 shipped. My buddy says only get Blisteins but I think this is a good alternative people should look at. As I wasnt impressed with Ranchos(just my opinion). Im new to Jeeps so not a real shock expert as Im into Datsun 510s and run coilover setups and the old orange Koni D retraction adjustable type shocks. So Im used to a firmer ride in my vehicles. and going to the XJ I tought I was going to roll over when I 1st got this thing. Maybe softer is better for a true offroad vehicle. But then seeing the spec on the Bilsteins I said WOW. |
