Default 6" longarm flexes same as my 3" lifted xj???
Just bought a 95 XJ with a 6" longarm. Flexed it out today and it flexed the same as my 99 XJ with a cheap zone 3" lift???? Got a SMOKING deal on the jeep just thought a 6" longarm should flex like crazy. It's got the right shocks and no sway bars at all???

Any help would be awesome!!!

I Googled the shocks part # they are sold for the 6" lift.
Tomorrow I'm going to flex again and look for binding and
Maybe unbolt top shock bolt and see what happens.

That's hard to believe. Remove the shocks and try again...

Yeah, posted at the same time.

Disconnect the front shock, flex the truck out, and measure for shock length.
