Well my old chef has a 2012 4dr but he started with jeeps when he was a kid in germany and he had a real nice cj that he redid but he sold it n got the 4dr since hes got 3 kids lol his daughter drives an older wrangler they fixed up...but theyre the exception to other ones around here lol
ok quick question...I bought a lift for my 2 door cherokee its a 2.5 inch with shackles and coil spacers..my question is, when i put the coil spacers on i have to disconnect the shock to do it..will i need a longer shock for the front or will the stock shock be long enough with the added 2.5 inches?

ok cool thanks..thats what i was thinking..the ones you are selling do they mount in the stock location? on my old xj that had a lift the previous owner installed, the shocks were beside the springs.

ah ok lol sorry im still new to jeeps havent done much to the underside but when i looked under and saw it dangling i was thinking it was the shock just disconnected..im used to cars where the shock runs in the middle of the spring
actually yeah it is pretty bouncy i was thinking it was because the shocks were disconnected but now i know that what i was looking at is the bump stop it may be because my shocks are so old and dead..it is a 87 after all and im pretty sure the guy didnt change much on it
