Looking to match up shocks to go with EMU 927/948 springs. If I go with EMU do I use EMU Nitrogen shocks or Sport shocks, if I go with Bilstein do I use B6 or B8. Have been reading old posts until my eyes bleed and have seen a lot of part #'s that are no longer available. Any help is greatly appreciated !

With OME springs you use stock front shocks either OME or Bilsteins
For the rear either 132L OMEs available from www.boulderbars.com or I am running the 24-185660 Bilsteins on one of mine with 2.5 inches of lift

No I did not.
At that height keep a very close watch on the UBJs since you did not get JBA UCAs
you have them maxed out pretty much
also measure middle of wheel to bottom of flare in front on level ground

Coming down nicely 3.5 inches
Hi Tom, my Jeep has come along way and I'm chuffed with the results, what I'm having trouble with is finding a programmer or powerchip etc. For a 2003 3.7 with 42 rle trans. Do you know of anything or anyway to address timing advance shift points etc.

Nothing that really works
most all programmers do not last , they will adjust shifting just a bit but that is all
Unless you send the computer to a company that can reprogram it

Yeah that's what I figured. Such a nice vehicle but not supported by any of the programmers etc. Wish I knew before I bought it would have looked for manual dorsal. So there is nothing that can be done, I don't mind spending a bit on any solution even complete drive line swap like LS conversion etc.
