    A previous owner put some air shocks at all 4 corners of my jeep. Not the brightest thing lol probably for a cheap lift kit. Anyway what are you guys doing for shocks? Im looking for something off the shelf at the local parts house. I dont have any lift. Any ideas?

    Measure the distance between your existing shock mounts at rest, with the suspension compressed, and at droop. Take those measurements in to the parts house. They should have a book with shock dimensions and order from that. This is going to be the most accurate way of getting shocks that will fit and travel the amount for your Jeep.

    Hi,
    If you have the stock suspension, the Monroe 32207 is the correct shock.

    4 Wheel Parts has (4) ProComp 1000 shocks with black boots for $99. I put those on my MB after painting the bodies black. More of a heavy duty shock than the Monroes which is what I pulled off.
