Friggin Goatman is always bagging on the "cool" mods. Just because they work like crap is no reason to bag on them. Sometimes looking cool is more important than off-road capability. I mean really.... :dunce: :flame:

Well, let's see here...your original post (Does anybody know what length shock (rear) I need for an XJ w/revolver shackles? ) said absolutely nothing about how much lift you have on that XJ, and that's going to make a huge difference on the shock length.

Have you cut the shock mounts and moved them up?

Do you realize that even a simple 4.5" lift can net anywhere from about 4-6 inches lift in the rear? Again, that makes a big difference in the shock length, so....maybe you should measure your compressed and extended lengths and then do a search for a series of shock part numbers and lengths that were posted about 2 months ago. You're welcome.
 
That's it..........there is only one way to get the right length shocks for any rig. Flex it up and measure the comp/ext length, then go to the shock charts and get the right shock. I wouldn't take anybody's shock length recomendation, and a 10" travel shock (for example) can come in all sorts of different comp/ext lengths.
