Installed Monroe Load Leveling Shocks on Rear

[scottso699]

I know this is an old thread but I had a question about gluing the sleeve on these shocks - how do you get to the sleeve? Do the springs on these shocks come off easily to allow you to gain access the rubber sleeves? Just wondering as I am considering these (the F150 versions) to level out my WK.

Yes you can just slide the spring off. Im right down the street if you want to check them out one day

I might take you up on that offer soon but if not I will see them at RC in February.

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?

[Matt]

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.
