Hey everybody. I'm about to put a 4.5 inch rough country on my 98 xj and I keep hearing that the rear shocks are bad about rusting into the body. But my jeep have never been on a coast or in a place where snow is a all the time thing. Will I have this problem? Thanks

 

Crawl under there and take a look.
If you're worried about it then spray some PB blaster on the bolts a few times for a week so you won't have that problem.

Edit. PB blaster won't alway work but don't worry. There are threads on here with solutions to this problem. I personally just knocked out the broken bolt and welded nut with a hammer and punch and then fished bolts through the opening in the frame. Pretty easy fix.

 

Aight thanks man and one more thing is the Tc drop hard on the 4.5 inch?

 

That's exactly what I did, first for mine then a few friends jeeps. Then I had to redo it all over again when I put bar pin elimiators in.

 

i just looked at mine no rust anywhere around it! so i should be straight
