Well I don't have any other KJ members near me.. I may just replace all of the struts/shocks again when I can... I may have gotten a bad set or something.. hell they may have not even changed the front..

Lol problem is TBJ I don't know if that shop put in the Struts.. I'll have to get under it and look.. They were supposed to do the entire suspension but I found out when they were supposed to replace the springs they didnt even do that..

Did you pay for springs? Check your reciept.Changing springs is not a common practice when changing struts/shocks unless you pay more for new coils.

Plus I see you have the rough country lift,so you have a spacer up front and new longer rear coils right? That would mean they would have had to get new coils from rough country.You alos probally have the wrong rear shocks on now since you need longer ones in the rear due to the lift which could be a big part of your problem.

Well TJKJ the shocks I have are the RC Nitro's 9000 series the long ones made for that lift.. see the problem i have is that the struts don't match so I dont think they replaced them, and I'm pretty sure that the front springs considering I bought some used from Taylor over on LOST it was the rough country but I need those replaced because they are sagging bad..

The Rough Country lift uses a spacer on the front,you retain the OEM struts and coils,so they will not match the longer rear shocks.

I thought that's why it came with the Coils in the Rough Country Lift for the Rear so thats why you needed the Longer Rear Shocks..

Know any other KJ owners locally?? Have them drive yours around a bit and see what they think, i know it sounds like stupid suggestion, but they might think what your experiencing is normal based on their experience driving theirs on a daily basis..

That is the best suggestion yet. I am glad I test drove several before buying, it gave me a much better baseline from which to judge. Or should I say which sounds and behavior I could ignore. lol
