Installed Monroe Load Leveling Shocks on Rear

[IamJEEP]

Is your front sagging? LMCAO!!!!!

Looks like a great upgrade to invest in for those who load down the rear.

Just got back home and the ride is perfect so far. It did firm up but not jerky at all. In fact it handled the curves a lot better and I am very happy with it. Now I'm working on custom cross bars to drop my basket so I can get back in the garage LOL.

Lol awesome.

What's the difference in front vs wear measurements now when you're unloaded?

[Matt]

Oh. .. and how'd the passenger side look while fully extended for the install? Think limiting straps will be needed if they're run with sway bar disconnected offroading?

Is there a front end version of these shocks?

No.
Well....technically yes, but they're already installed from the factory. Our struts are springs/shocks all in one. We don't have stand alone shock absorbers for the front.

Or are you talking about a replacement strut for the front? Monroe part number 71377 is their OE replacement strut. They do not sell a combined strut/spring combo for increased capacity in the front. (You could get the replacement strut and install OME HD coils though).

The brake line was tight on the passenger side with the sway bar disconnected I think it would be fine for off road use but its close. Obviously the driver side is no issue thanks to the awesome design of the fuel tank skid plate what a PITA. I will say the diff between disconnecting the bar is huge. The axle dropped at least another 4" when I let the jack go.

The driver side would be an issue for me

Ya I thought about knocking that out while I was doing the shocks but I was already soaking wet and still needed to do the roof basket so I'll just get it another day

On the OME springs.......are they stock hight or the 3" coils? What if you are running a BB lift already.

I want to firm up the ride a bit but not rock hard. Right now it feels like a Caddy floating around on water......ok, not that bad. Lol...
