[Mike1331]

I found a shop that has 5150's in stock for $125 but will match any price I find on-line. Does anybody no of a vender that sells them for significantly less?

FYI I just paid $160 a shock for the 7100s, which are quite a bit more shock, rebuildable/revalvable. I have the contact info if you want.

I want to buy a set of shocks the 5150's for $89 each is a great price. I had a set of 7100's in my Ram and By far the best shocks I've ever owned.
Well, my question is: Should I buy 12" travel for the front and 9" travel for the rear? or should I buy 12" travel all around?
Now, the valving: In my truck I had 255/70, wich valving are you guys running?, I read that some are using that same valving, but I find that it could be very stiff for the XJ.

My XJ specs: 1990 Limited, 4.0, AW4, 242, 33's 6" lift. bla bla bla....

They even have a listing for XJs. 270/55 is thier recommendation. I have 7100's in the back of mine with the same valving, and I really like it.

I have 5125's in the front and 7100's in the rear valved 270/55, and am satisfied with both. Yes, its a little firm, but it makes for a nice stable ride.

With Res and also short body, meaning it is a 12" travel shock in a 10"travel shock body. Valving is 275/78 in front and still deciding on the rears.

I just put that exact shock on the rear of a 4 link conversion I did for a CJ-7. It was a Bit soft but seems like it will work nicely..

Project XJ was using 10 in travel 25.91 ext. all the way around with RE 5.5 and TnT long arms. Not sure about the valving. I am trying to order some 5150's myself and found them at Off Road Warehouse for 99 each with standard ground shipping. Summit has them for 109 shipping included.
