Hey Guys!
Alright, so I looked under my jeep that I got from one of my buddies who got it from a ghetto shop in the phoenix area and it looks like they put a 3" block to try and give the appearance of a "lift". well I'm wanting to replace that and actually get springs that will do the job like the original shop was wanting to mimic. Ive read that the shocks in the rear sometimes need to be replaced as well so that I don't run the risk of overextension, is there an easy way to see if the ghetto shop replaced the shock as well or should I just do it to be safe?
Thanks

 

Just do it to be safe. Who knows what they did. You can get decent shocks for not a whole lot, heck if you get a full lift kit you may even get some with it. How big of a lift are you going for? Depending on how high you go you may need to relocate the rear shock mounts, There are kits for that. I also recommend while you are back there do yourself a favor and install bar pin eliminators and use the Rough Country flag bolts. This will make changing them in the future much easier.

 

Makes me wonder what they did in the front. You will need to address that also.
Note: the higher you go in lift the more involved things get, as the previous post hinted at.
