Anyone know what brand shock this is? As you can see it is leaking and needs replacing but I have not seen the light blue scheme except on bilstiens and tokicos...

Figured

Doesnt matter, remove it, measure fully extended length and compressed, find one that fits your application.

Or replace them all with shocks from a company, they normally label them fit for XX" of lift.

It looks like Caution Oil and Gas under high pressure. Do not heat or open.

I'm only wondering if this is a Bilst or tokico...those have lifetime warranties and are quality shocks.

Would it be covered under the life long policy that bilstien says they have then?

No receipt...I suppose that means no replacement.

Any luck with the KYB Monomax or Gabriel mono-tube? Just looking for a better than OEM (road handling better) as this is a stock height Jeep and on pavement 95% of the time.

I have Monroe Sensa-Trac on both of mine. They ride pretty good, all things considered.
