Purchased Mopar springs, bump stops and sway bar links separately and now looking for shocks. One of the complaints about the Mopar Lift is shorter shocks limit articulation. Sooo my question is can I use Fox Shocks that are for 3.5"- 4" lift instead of the 2"-3" lift...
The 2-3" lift measures at Front 16.7" - 26.25" Rear 18.5" - 29.5"
The 3.5-4" lift measures at Front 17.8" - 28.4" Rear 18.9" - 30.50"
Two(2) Door Rubicon not a lot of weight any suggestions would be Greatly Appreciated!
So collapsed height would equal shock length (bolt to bolt) minus distance of bump stop to axle?... After new springs are installed?You would need to check the collapsed height with your Jeep.
With the collapsed height being one inch taller in the front, will the shocks bottom out before your bumpstops do?
Would like to know the same thing please?@Northridge4x4
What, if any, Fox or King shocks do you recommend for OEM replacement on a non lifted Unlimited Rubicon? I figure that one of those two brands would offer better ride and handling than the standard red shocks on my Rubi. I’ll be one of the few, if not only, person keeping my Jeep stock.
Thanks in advance.
I'm in the same boat @Man-of-methods . I am not planning on lifting my JLUR either. Might go to 35's once the stock KO2s wearout but that's about it. Personally I'd lean more towards Fox but that's only because I haven't heard much about King.@Northridge4x4
