Rear shock same as front?
Hey guys. Replaced my old IRO front shocks with some OME ones. I have a 4.5 lift and the drive has already improved a ton with just the front replaced. So I’m going to replace the rear as well, do I just get the same as my front shocks for the rear? Same model? Or are there specific shocks that are meant for the rear? Thanks

Yep.
Spray penetrating oil on the rear bar pin bolts through the holes near them. They are known to snap off. When I initially removed I mine loosened and tightened a little at a time.

Sweet good to know. Thanks guys. Trying to make the ride more comfy lol. The iro lift kit I have was SO stiff. I could feel the bugs I was running over lol. Im thinking long arm kit soon too. But I’m nervous to install those cause I have to cut stuff right? Are there bolt on kits?
