Default 4.5" rough country shocks
What up everybody!

I gota set of front and rear shocks that I need to get out of my shop. Bushings are all good and nothing wrong. Also have a steering stabilizer too.
They were part of a rough country 4.5" kit. They probably only had 5k miles on them when I took them off.

Rear
Collapsed length is 14"
Extended around 25"

Front
Collapsed length is 16"
Extended is 27"

Real cheap!!! $20

For what it's worth my Currie coils ride great (progressive) and don't hardly sag at all with weight on them

Ask these fools:
hey, that speed3 looks familiar!

Haven't started my Jeep since last Thursday and after reading about Justin's battery decided to start it up when I got home. Remote start worked like a champ and it fired right up. 5 year old Red Top Optima is still working! I was sure the cold was going to kill it. Just in case I hooked up my battery tender to top it off.

I've heard quality has declined over the years. Next time I'm going with a Sears Diehard Platinum / Odyssey set up from Sears.

I was about to tell him that. I did a few dozen hours of research before buying my Platinum. I'd do it again.

i'm probably going to need a new battery in not too long. I NEEDED a new battery recently. in both XJs and we just got cheap wal mart batteries I believe. maybe one was from pep boys. either way I don't expect them to last too long, but its not high on the list.

next up is new rims and tires.

Our A/C went out in one of the equipment rooms, so we have a door propped open to keep the room cool. I can see my breath in the hallways.
