I have 3.5 rubicon leafs and coils and I was wondering what sizeshocks would work with these. I know rubicon makes 3.5 shocks but I was wondering if other brands/sizes would work. Thanks in advance

 

is ur lift in?? if so, flex out the jeep with shocks out , and measure the distance between the two mounting pionts . extended length and compressed . then off to the autoparts store and they should dig something up, or go aftermarket . measurements help ALOT!!

good luck ....

 

put oldman emu 2.5-4.5 on mine very happy with the ride . however I got 5inch from bumper to ground on my 98 xj more than i expected thought 31 x10.50 would work shoud've went 32 's also you will need a sye and shaft despite what everyone says been there done that bought a tera flex and carrollston from curtis on ebay was 460 shipped for sye kit and shaft very happy with that also.went leaf kit steering stabilizer very high quality kit

 

Being from kalamazoo, MI and Coldwater, MI I went with BDS 4" from a local shop and it cost me 170 out the door for the four. They have worked great , at-least until I over flexed, and have been an easy install... but BDS is in Coldwater, MI and that is only 45 minute drive from me.

 

How much did those shocks run you? And what other parts will I need. I wanna do this right the first time... any help will be appreciated

 

got the whole deal @4x4 group buy with the shocks upgraded went with the leaf pack . emu steering stabilizer rubicon adjustable upper and lower control arms rubicon adjustable steering arm whole kit was $1200.00 got the best of the bestof what was offered and was worth every penny no popping like those cheaper kit smooth ride however the lift that was 3.5 gave me 5 inchs to the bumper also contacted curtis bought a sye and tallons shaft for 460.00 shipped 801-685-0056 very fast shipping uses a teraflex sye kit and makes the drive shaft very happy and no vibes up to 100 mph hope this helps when doing the lift your going to need a frontend alignment so thats why I replaced the whole front suspension all done at the same time my jeep is in great shape well worth the money I put in it

 

I already have leafs and coils... so what other parts.... or what does your kit have minus the coils and leafs

 

JK Rubi shocks will do the trick.

 

No extra hardware? Will all my stock stuff work?

 

You will have to press out the metal sleeves from the JK rear shocks, and either get some bar pin eliminators, or press out your stock bar pins and press them into the JK shocks. This can all be done with a bench vise, couple sockets and some dish soap. I went JK shocks on mine and went through this process until I got my BPE's, then had to press the bar pins back out.
