couldn't find anything in the section for junkyard parts that fit so i figured i would ask around.

i work at advance auto and can use my discount towards parts only problem is i cant get shocks for anything but a stock cherokee. i can get shocks for stock and lifted trucks, wranglers and just about everything else. is there anything i can use for the rear shocks that will work?

i will also be running 1.5" Detour Shock Relocators...

Why not break out the shock book and do werk. The Gabriel and monroe book will have the specs of the shocks

Gee oh Dee

JK shocks are good for some life, but I don't remember for how much.

any year JK (2007+)? i tried looking for a monroe book but god for bid this place have the stuff we need to function. i took measures of the factory ones so hopefully i can find something...

Fully extended: 20 1/2"
Top Mount (across): 3 3/4"
Fully Crompressed: 13 3/4"

I had to order the shocks in and now I have the measurements...

Full extended: 22 1/4"
Full compressed: 15 3/4"

Shocks for the JK didnt come out 4" longer but they will do fine with the 1 1/2" detour relocator going on. Just incase anyone comes across this later for a reference. I'll post pics tomorrow when everything is put together.

Thanks for the help!

yeah you are right... I just measured them there is a rumor going around that they are 24.5 well mine are 22.5

you can gain a 1/2 and inch with a few extra washers

JK shocks are a great deal if you get them used... $0-$50 for an entire set...

but there are better deals out there...
