Installed Monroe Load Leveling Shocks on Rear

[scottso699]

I actually took the springs off because I want to size up my jeep for a set of upgraded shocks. I'm going to make myself another 1/2" rear spacer to get the height I want back and hopefully get a set of Fox resi shocks (dreaming... depends on how much my SA rear bumper ends up costing, how our tax return looks and if we start getting offers on our house); otherwise I'll get a set of RSX9000 shocks.

Regardless I can literally take a shock off and re-install the spring in 5 minutes.

I have a 1.5 inch spacer if that interests you? you currently are just using a half inch spacer right? if you want take the 1.5 inch spacer (red sausage spacer) and give me the half inch one.

where are you looking to move to?

The 1.5" will be too much. My fenders are basically even right now, i just want to get the rear up a smidge higher for when the bumper goes on and 1/2" will be perfect.

Staying in the immediate area... just wanted to see if I could move up to a 4 bedroom while interest rates are low. I actually don't think my house will sell just because the market isn't that great yet.... but the realtor (a friends wife) did a market analysis and its not far from what i need, and she said I have a prime location plus its one of the nicest houses in the area that she's seen (i've done a lot of work).

Matt,
So are you going to be changing out that 1/2" spacer you made & replacing with a 1"?
I'm about to install my OME in a week or so & was going to copy how you set it up.
Also I looked at your garage & the lift install had a link to the back & that link is coming back as bad.

I actually planned on having two 1/2" spacers from the start.... one on the bottom and one on the top. I just never got around to making my top spacers...

Thanks for the heads up on the link; found it and fixed it.

Matt - what did you make the spacers out of? I may want to make one too.

[Matt]

I made them out of impact rated UHMW polyethylene.

Oh... how does one do that? (or... what is that stuff?)
