Default Rubicon Front Shocks on XJ
I started out with RC 3" Lift that came with 2.2 shocks. Rear end was not dampened enough and had suggestions to use the Red Black take offs from a Rubicon. I installed those on the back and it helped a lot. Wondering if the front shocks would work out well for the front as well ? Has anyone tried them ?

Yeap, great for a 3 inch lift. That is what was on my old XJ. They were great.

Have em on mine. Amazing shocks coupled with my 3" lift... Work well with my plow too... Make sure you get the red in color Rubicons though.
