Looking for new shocks....	Permalink

I am looking for some new shocks front and back....I have a 2 inch lift and my shocks really suck. What are you guys using? My cherokee is driving mainly back and forth to work and around town. I dont get much time to go off road. So any good shocks for a better ride? Sam __________________

for a better ride most would probably say go with OME (Old Man Emu). but they are pricey. a set of monotubes may work but im not sure of the sizes they come in. I wouldnt recommend twin tubes (RE) they are very stiff and not so forgiving on the road __________________

Go with the OME's, you'll be glad you spent the extra money on them. Here is a set for the 2" lifted XJ's. http://motionoffroad.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_28_62&products_id=28 __________________ '93 XJ Cherokee Sport - build thread '89 XJ Cherokee Laredo - build thread '88 MJ Comanche Pioneer SWB - build thread '87 MJ Comanche LWB '94 YJ Wrangler - build thread

I always wondered about OME shocks, they must be good @ that price. I was looking into getting some Bilstein 5150's, But i forgot where i put my mesurments for what shocks i need. __________________ 1999 XJ SPORT, 4.5'' LIFT, 32'' X 11.50'' TIRE'S " IF IT AINT RUFF IT AINT ME ! "

I run the OME's on my XJ and love them. And yes, that's a 35" tire burried in the sand (don't ask!) -- Edited by LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW at 15:39, 2008-01-13 __________________ '93 XJ Cherokee Sport - build thread '89 XJ Cherokee Laredo - build thread '88 MJ Comanche Pioneer SWB - build thread '87 MJ Comanche LWB '94 YJ Wrangler - build thread

I forgot to post this the other day, but I would be willing to bet that you will burry 35" tires every time you attempt to climb a hill of sand in front wheel drive.... evileye confused idea weirdface

I think that should be enough emotions to portray all the responses... haha

What are you talking about? It was just so much fun...

(yes a locked MJ front and rear, and another XJ hooked TOGETHER could not get me out)
