Hey paul what did you do with your old shocks? The ones you had on the 4.5 lift. The wifes jeep needs new shocks all the way around. I'll buy them

I'm using the same Bil's, though one is only functioning as a dampener, The seal for the gas failed when it bent. I don't think I'll get it hot enough to be a problem. Sorry.

They are just the right size now, now I know why the PO had those rubber baby buggy bumpers on them, they were too long for the 4.5" lift. The stops built into the rear truss fixed the going up too far and bottoming them out. I had to cut the rubbers off with the shock mount relocation, now they're just right.

thanks for the help yesterday scott... everything is working great. we got a lot done, steering is better, diff isnt leaking, fender trimming worked out better than expected.
next time:
modify rock rails
fine tune front axle (no bump stops, yay!)
bend rear flares for more clearance

Fixed it for you.Yea after looking at the stock bump stop and the bottom plate there is no reason to put anything into that 6" gap when your at full stuff.LOL. I need to take mine over and see if it is still like yours and not hitting it by 3 or 4" cause i have 3" in there now.Guess they didn't think of that when they built these front axles.:dunno:

BUTT HEAD, what part of CHEAP or FREE didn't you understand? The price of metal would be over this right? Plus this is only for a weekend trips, not a full time gas eater.
Oh plus i would have to get a guy i worked with to come over to do the welding, it's got to be pretty too.:laugh3: Blinging on the wifes jeep.
