I didn't have a problem with them on my first cherokee, way better than oem shocks. And seeing how right now im running close to no shocks, I couldn't imagine it rideing worse.

Better than oem? Maybe better than worn out oem, but definantly not better than new oem shocks. Sorry about kinda jacking your thread by the way.

Did you use a nut and a bolt to release them or did you do the pin with a cotter pin?
