Installed Monroe Load Leveling Shocks on Rear

[Budasac]

Matt, it looks like you used 3 washers on each shock is that right? What size did you use?

Yeah, 3 washers. Not sure of the size.... I have a drawer full of washers/nuts/bolts/etc so I just found one the fit nicely on the shock bolt and went with it.

I just went to Home Depot and guessed. I bought 3 different sizes and was going to return what I didn't use but ended up throwing them in the tool box. I'm sure I'll need them eventually.

^^ I did the same, but I THINK they were 1/2 diameter hole so I used 1/2" x 1" or however washers are measured..

That makes sense since the shock mounts have 1/2" (12 and 12.7mm) mounts. So I probably used some 1/2" fender washers

Great, thanks guys.

Just FYI for doing mods and stuff like this $25 at autozone you can get a grade 5 hardware kit. I carry it with me when on the trails and I'm always using it for mods in fact I just about need to buy another one. They also have a standard kit for about the same price I though about getting this as well for mounting stuff like lights. The grade 5 hardware doesn't rust either

Ok, I have an 06 with the Hemi and 3rd row seats. I'm planning on the 2" OME HD completer kit that comes with shocks. Would you try to get the kit minus the rear shocks and use the Monroe load leveling shocks instead? If so, the shorter or longer ones? My jeep will be used for road trips so I will have a good amount of weight in it and might occasionally pull a trailer. Thanks.

I have the load levelers. I didnt get the longer ones, didnt need to do that. The oem replacements should be fine for you and they will really help out with supporting the load. Im going camping this wkend and i will take a pic and post it along with a pic from last year with oem shocks, same loadout. Im interested to see the difference myself.
