Metalcloak Rocksport shocks

[69charged]

Quick question about the rocksport shocks. I am ordering a full set for the wife's JLU. Do I need 2 sets of the shocks listed on the site? They are the same front to back? And there are no difference in part numbers for different motors?

The front and rear will use different shocks. There are also different part numbers depending on the height of the kit. Feel free to give us a call and we can help you out.

I kinda figured, but don't really see any options to go through for them on the site. Unless I'm blind and don't see it? I'll call tomorrow morning to get them on their way.
Thanks

Just called and they said they won't work with a 2" spacer lift. Too long on compression and too much extension. Wasn't too worried about extension as they are going on the wife's jeep. She doesn't go off road at all so no chance of un-seating, but bottoming out the shock before a bump stop isn't good!
So I guess I'm still on the hunt for good shocks still.
Thanks for the quick responses.

Yeah, With a spacer kit you will want something that is normally listed as a 0-2" application so that you do not have issues.

If you don't want to go with the Fox or other rebuildable types, you might consider the Rancho 9000 which are adjustable or the 5000 (non-adjustable)

Yeah. They might be what I go with. Don't need anything crazy. Or I could always go with stock again. They weren't bad handling wise, just always like to find something better when a stock part fails.
Thanks

I’m going to try the Bilstein 5100’s. Telling them I’d only have a 3/4” spacer to offset weight droop, along with stock Rubicon springs, Metalcloak and Northridge 4x4 recommended the Bilstein shocks being on a budget. The Fox2.0, 0-1.5” lift, shocks were great but I sold that Jeep with them on it. Kicking myself now.

Would love to go with a shock like that, or the remote reservoir ones that come in the Mopar kit. Just can't justify spending that when it sees 99% hiway miles.

I hear you. I'm thinking of getting some of that brushed aluminum vinyl wrap and some Fox decals to wrap my dirty old Rocksports. Maybe add a few wrapped V8 juice cans in the fenderwells with some hoses.
