Default using wrangler shocks on XJ with lift??

hey guys I recently saw a post about using wrangler shocks on a xj with up to a four inch lift but even with the search I can't find it

I found these on ebay and was wondering if I could make them work with my 97 xj. I have coils and spacers for up front and dakota leafs to do the bastard pack in the back.

just wanted to know if these would work to finish up by budget boost thanks in advance

You'll need to install bar pins in the lower front shock bushings, but they will work. Also you could just do bar pin eliminators

i was fairly certain that is only the case with the rubicon shocks...i might be wrong, but i would double check. Last i remember the rubi shocks i saw were red and black

Both work, but the Rubicon shocks are stiffer from what I hear

*edit* Read this, it should help clear things up. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f96/w...shocks-698037/
