I have purchased a Rough Country 3" lift kit and have a couple of questions....

Please direct me to threads that can answer or answer directly if you have the information.

On the front of the Jeep, there is a shock ? inside the coil spring. There is also a shock ? located towards the rear of the wheelwell. Dumb question, which shock is the one that needs to be replaced with the new coils ? Seems to me that both of them should be replaced, but the kit only comes with one.

It's got me stymied right from the start and I haven't even put a jack under it !

Thanks.

 

show us a picture of the "shock" in the coil spring. There shouldn't be one there unless it is aftermarket.. only a bump-stop. In any case, The ones in the kit are for the shocks outside of the coil spring

 

As mentioned above, are you sure you aren't talking about the bumpstop inside of the spring? (I just googled an image)

 

Thanks for the replies .... to the both of you ..... now I know that it is a bumpstop and the proper one to call a shock is on the outside. Much appreciated.

Just so you know. The function of a bumpstop is to keep the suspension from over-compressing. As well as keeping your tire from rubbing on the fender.

 

I just realized my comment came across pretty rude... haha it was not my intent. Good luck on your install and welcome to the forum!
