392 Shocks and Springs on a Sahara - Anybody done it?

[redwhiteandrew]

I was picking up steel front and rear bumpers at a jeep shop today and I asked the mechanic what they do with the OEM suspensions from jeeps they work on. He said they scrap them all, and then handed me a set of 392 shocks, springs and sway bar links. I'd love to put them on my Sahara, but I want to see if anyone has done this already. I'd love some insight. This is my 4th wrangler, 2 had lifts but so far this one is stock. Thanks for the help!

wow, install them!!! will get close to 2.5" lift. Btw go back and get all the XR and 392 springs and shocks they have!

IIRC, they are about an inch longer compressed than the Rubi shocks. Probably a good idea to put some bump extension in when you swap the springs.

FYI: the Metalcloak durospring bumpstops act as a 1" bump stop. I used them when I converted to 392 shocks on my stock JLR.
