well why are the springs diff?

Ever fooled with diesel engine? Nothing light about them.

I know the spring rates are different due to the crd being 200 lbs heavier, but the dealers keep telling me they have to order in the shocks. My went quick and the front end bobs at highways speeds so bad, I need trim tabs on the back.

I am still under warranty so have to use OEM.

I'll run that by them, asked about heavier shocks and all they will do is OEM, thanks for the heads up, didn't know that Rancho did OEM?

The parts just came in, the rancho's are not available, o'well I'll be glad just to have some kind of shock under the front, it is really awful to drive with the front bouncing up and down, not to mention the looks from the wrangler crowd when I go over a speed bump slow and it bounces three times. I know they think that I've got a low rider here. lol
