I'm trading my 09 zx6r for another jeep.. one attached. But it looks to me that its shocks are too short. It has a dana 44 front and a dana 60 rear. Detroit lockers. Toms woods custom double shaft. And a custom 8 1/2" lift. On 35s

Remove the existing shocks.
Flex the suspension
Measure for the correct length (extended and collapsed)
Decide what brand and model you want.
Order from your favorite vendor or parts house.

bilstein 9300 blackhawks would be the best.

but generic white body cheap shocks would also work.

depends if you want to spend $100 or $10,000 or anywhere inbetween
