Default JK Rubicon Shocks on an XJ
There's a set of 4 Rubicon shocks for sale in my area for 50 bucks and I'm not happy with my Skyjacker hydros. Will they fit on an XJ with about 1.5" lift?

yes, they are perfect for that lift height, you will need to swap out the bar pin

Swap the bar pin for the fronts and knock the sleeve out of the rears then they bolt in.
