What's the current opinion on front shocks for an xj with 2" lift? 80 percent on road, 20 percent forest roads...

 

Like should you Run Front Shocks? 80% on Road, YES

Do you need new shocks with a 2" lift, not really.

 

I like the Napa SensaTracs.

 

What I meant was I spend a majority of the time on road and when off road it is forest paths. Nothing crazy.

 

I understood that part.

 

JK takeoffs. Try to find some red ones. They are suppose to be better.

 

I've done 3 sets of those. Work great.

 

Yea that aint too bad. And you can find a set for 20$ brand new

 

I like mine.

 

Should I feel bad that I just sold a set for $100?

 

No, the buyer could have Googled for a better price.

 

He was happy and lives in da hood wit me.

 

All good then..

Re OP question... If you are leaving the swaybar connected when offroad. Stock length will be fine. If you are worried about bottoming the shocks, slip a hockey puck inside the coils. With swaybar inplace you will be unlikely to fully extend the shock, unless both wheels are off the ground.

 

Nope. Sold mine for 60. Paid 20

 

A stock shock will work for you fine, just pick one you like.
