!!!shock!!!

[originalchaps]

ok well im guessing my shocks are bottoming out after i put my lift in so now i have a question of what should i do do i just put new shock in and how do i exactly do that every shock i look at does not have the same mounting plate as my stock strut

Did you put in extended bump stops when you lifted?

 

[J-Thompson]

are we talking front or rear?
front needs the "top plate" to be swapped
and if it is front all the shocks made for the front are OE length
so there is no need to extend your bump stop
The rear is another story

ok well ya its front i have a clunk so i think its my shocks bottoming out no i do not have biger bumper stops they on there way lift is 2.5 inch spacer lift

 

[J-Thompson]

Well here it is
Spacer lifts on KJ's are not good
So now for the fun part
OME springs an shocks = $700 and nothing more
Better ride
spacer lift = $200
blown shocks = $300
extended bump stops = $50
you still need new front springs as the OE springs are shot
So add $200+

Wow
The better lift would have cost you less money and time

Getting tired of answering the same questions?
It is up to OP's to decide if you want it right or something that will never be right.
Old Man Emu Springs 927-948's, OME Shocks or Bilstiens, Tera Flex/Hockey Puck BumpStops, JBA 4.5 Upper A-Arms.
I also used SpiderTrax Spacers for stability & to widen Track,eliminate tire rubbing.

The KJ lift section folks has lots of good info and it all says OME Springs for starters.

In Dutch we say:
“Goedkoop is duurkoop.”
Or in other words:
“Buying cheap is buying expensive.”
“You Get What You Pay For”

Ditch the spacer lift and do it right!

That is the only solution. Just replacing the shocks is a "Band Aid" solution.
The coil springs are most likely bagged out and with a spacer lift you will just kill a new pair of front shocks in no time because of it!
