Hey bro getting ready to pull the trigger on the longer ones here just wanted to get some final feed back from you. Still happy with them? Still think the longer ones are the way to go? I can't wait until fall to get this done my rear dropped bad this last trip over the holiday and my front end felt light the entire trip to the beach and back. I have the shocks pulled up on amazon already so let me know bro.
Lets put it this way... if i was to order a set right now, it'd be the longer ones. I can't 100% guarantee that they'll work, but im pretty sure they will... Should probably consider some limiting straps as well if you're running rear discos.
Remember, during my gas tank install/mod I found that the spring begins to un-seat at an eye-to-eye length of 26.5" (if using a spacer lift... spring lift like OME would be different):
So being that the extended length of the longer Monroe's are 27.5", you may want to test them out at full flex in your driveway first to double check brake lines and to make sure your spring can't un-seat given your setup. I know if i was ordering them today, i'd also be ordering a set of 26.5" limiting straps since that extra inch would be enough for me to potentially lose a spring.
If I leave the rear sway bar connected I think I will be good for now what you think?
That's a good question... i dont think i ever measured my eye-to-eye length with the sway bar connected. The only time I did that was with the stock shocks and found out that the stock shocks will still max out with the sway bar connected; hence disconnecting the sway bar with the stock shocks really doesn't do much.
I guess maybe I will have to be the guinea pig so to speak then.
I'm guessing the mounting option isn't stock so do you thing just a few washers will get the job done.
Exactly.
The lower mount is the same as stock... no issues there.
The metal sleeve for the upper mount is about 3/8" shorter than the stock sleeve... so a few washers to make up the difference should be all it takes. The bolt size is basically the same... stock ID is 12mm and longer shocks have a 12.7mm ID. So that's only .7mm, which is .027" (1/32" is .031). So yeah... that shouldn't matter at all.
OR, maybe you can take the bushing/sleeve off the stock shock and put that in the Monroe... id have to see it first hand to determine if that would work though. Some washers might just be easier.
Amazon don't take paypale? I don't see the option so now I have to run out to my jeep to get my card PITA.
Guess not...
I have my card on file. Got a full year of Amazon Prime for free (sort of).
