Nice. I could use the extra 1/2 inch spacer in the rear. I hate how my XK sits now that the front end is higher.

Were theese the shocks you mentioned to me?
Just measured the OME rear shock I have waiting to be installed, it measures just over 27" from mounting point to mounting point, not sure if thats where it should be measured but just to give an idea..
Yup eye to eye 27", thought Id help the thread since mine are lying next to me staring at me!!!
What do there spec's say Matt?
They claim 25.90" extended length. Being slightly over 27" is a big difference and puts them in the ballpark of the length of the other shocks im looking at. Note that I still want a rebuildable higher end shock that I can adjust the pressure in... but at least knowing their spec is off puts those OME's back on par with other standard monotube shocks that are available at "desireable" lengths.
Just an update: installed the Rancho 9000XL's on Corey's Xk.

Everything I've heard about these shocks on other Jeeps has been pretty cool. Pretty interested in seeing how they serve the heavier WK/XK crowd.
I actually ran them back in the day on my lifted explorer. Being able to adjust the damping was pretty cool..... kept them softer for DD and firmer for offroading or towing.
