Default Shock Question for 98 XJ with Mercedes Diesel
Guys,

Have a question about shock recommendations.

Have 98 Cherokee gonna be daily driver offroad application.

IronMan 4x4 long arms, Mercedes Diesel, framed unibody, 4.5 - 6 inch lift, going to go as big as 33 inch tire has 30s on now.

What shock do you guys reccommend (obviously best bang for the buck).

Thanks,
Matt

A 4.5 inch lift is all you need for 33s,And why not use a vw diesel or ls v8?
