How to pick the correct replacement rear shocks

 

Flex, measure, order

 

What he said. Also, theres a good chance that another member has the same setup and can offer some suggestions on what works and what doesnt. Mine is stock and uses KYB Excel-G front and rear. Nothing special as its not a trail rig. Have the shocks ever been replaced before? The upper rear shock bolts are known to snap.

 

Be really careful removing the upper shock bolts. I used a torch to heat them up and only snapped 1 out of 4

If they break, there are tons of tutorials and YouTube videos on fishing a bolt through.

Is your jeep stock? Measuring is always the best, but if 100% stock you could just throw some OEM spec Monroe Sensatrack shocks in and call it good​​​​

 

X2 if you are at stock height with the OE Spectrum Monroe's. Did mine a few years ago. They seem fine. Only snapped 2 out of the 4 upper bolts on the passenger side. But just PB Blasted for a week before. Easy fix.

 

Those bolts are known for snapping, so i didnt even bother trying to save mine. I went at them with air tools, and showed no mercy.

 

Iron Rock Offroad bar pin eliminators front and rear when you do replace your shock !!! You will not regret it . Gives you an extra almost inch of flex and really simplifies any future work..
