10" shocks

[XJensen]

Anyone have some 10" shocks I can borrow or buy cheap. I need a 90° fitting for my rear 7100s.... And I sold the old shocks already....


I would like to get a fitting and do this right. Anyone know where I can charge my shocks back up? In the Sacramento area.

I thought about cutting the cross member but don't know how bad that will be for me in the long run. Thoughts?

Longer tabs clear better?

Josh, I can bring up my old shocks. They're 12 travel, might be too long though.

 

[XJensen]

They should be fine. My 10s are short bodies.

Please bring them. I am going to try to fix mine tomorrow but a back up would be great. Pat has some but won't be up until late night.

thanks Lou

They would need to be about 3/4 to 1" longer and I am not making new ones at this point

No problem, I'll bring them up.

I have straight fittings on my 7100s and had to cut the factory crossmember to clear them. If you need to cut to make it fit, do it. Not a big deal to me.

That's what I was wondering. I was going to get out the hole saw but thought this might be better, although a pain in the ass.

Have you had any issues with them or the cross member?

 

[Bryan C.]

I was under my rig last night and figured I would take a pic for you. Started with a large hole saw and that wasn't enough to clear the hose, so I just cut all the way to the next factory hole.

Looks good. You gonna leave your res mounted on shock or floor?

 

[XJensen]

How do you like those jks bpe? Thinking of just going with those. The resessed cross member makes my design a little more of a pain

 

[twinhauler]

I have the jks ones and I switched to bushings. They fit good but, havent
really got to try them out.

 

[XJensen]

I was going to try the hard joint kind. Didn't know how they were on wear and tear and noise

 

[Bryan C.]

No plan to move the reservoirs at this point. Maybe if I feel like it later, but for now they stay.

The JKS BPEs are nice, they hold the spacers nice and tight. I have no noise coming from the joint although if I did I doubt it would matter. This is a trail rig only.

Haha. My wife was talking about how noisey the new jeep is compared to the old one
