98 XJ, 4.5" lift.
Lift is mostly RE's package.
Shocks pictured here
Some XXXXer, as you can see, stole the remote reservoir hose fittings. I thought they'd just broke off, but they both disappeared at the same time and there was a real big puddle of hydraulic oil under and all over my Jeep the morning they disappeared, along with oily footprints leading away
I've asked around at a few shops about rebuilding but no one seems to know.
Anyone know if theses can be rebuilt? RE says they were manufactured by Edelbrock so I called them. They don't have specs but suggested they might be similar to their AIS shocks and that they take a 15wt hydraulic oil and that the procedure (the guy wasn't very clear) is to open them up, push the rod all the way down, put the piston 5.5" from the bottom, fill up both sides, reassemble and push 180-220psi nitro into the res chamber.
Can anyone confirm this?
I'm starting to think I should just pick up a new set, but it'd be nice to have them matching the rears which are also RE remote nitros.
If I do have to replace them, what should I stay away from? Edelbrock has a sale on their AIS line right now. $45 for their regular 6.5" travel AIS and $80 for the 5.4" AIS with remove res.
