    Hey guys,
    Can someone point me to some factory shocks (that dont cost a fortune) that I can throw on my 98 ZJ on which Im doing about a 3.5 lift.
    I thought I read that Ford F150 shocks of some yr. might work. I need for the front and the rear.
    Any help would be great.

    I believe that napa can look up shocks by length to some extent I'm Using The rear shocks from a 99 f-150 in the front of my jeep. They allow for a good amount of drop and I think they can compress up to the stock bumps.

    Whose to say what's proper? Offroad shocks don't have to be all that specific. Oh and I want to add if you don't have bar pin eliminators you will need to install a bar pin in those f-150 shocks.

    Ummmmm, the ones that are for the amount of lift, and the ones you can take out of the box and bolt on....if your going to do it, do it right the first time.

    Offroad shocks don't have to be all that specific.

    Depends on what the individual is going to be doing with it, bunny trails, or Ultra4
