Lift kit change , rear shocks XJ Cherokee

[moridgerunner67]

I need some advice; I have a 92 Cherokee XJ and I have a 4 ½” lift on it. I need to find some shocks for the rear that have the extra extension and extra compression length for this Jeep.

I don't know, but there are many places out there on the web that sell shocks and can advise you what to get. I have heard good things about rustysoffroad.com, so maybe give them a call or email. good luck

Contact www.allmyneeds.com or www.rubiconexpress.com they both carry Doetsch-Tech 3000 shocks and will tell you exactly the length you need for you application.

There's no secret to 'extra compression length' or 'extra extended length' when it comes to shocks. Basically any two shocks designed to fit the same application will have the same working length. Don't let the 'long-travel' hype fool ya.

You're not going to need a lot of travel in the rear of an XJ unless you're running coils, most XJ flex is in the front axle. If you ever test your jeep on an RTI ramp, it'll make it further backing up the ramp, it's an XJ thing.
