I realize its not a caddy. I'm 21 and i've owned my jeep since i was 15. I know all about the ride. Is there something wrong with trying to upgrade my shocks to make it a better ride? I have a 2 hr drive from school to my home town and i would like to have a better ride. Is that a crime? I just want to make the ride and handling a little safer while driving on the interstate.[addsig]

you a hard time but on a serious note how much are you
looking on spending for shocks?? Do you have a steering
stabilizer ??? Anyways have a good one... :-D [addsig]

I am not to sure shocks are the answer for you. If your spring are good and stiff then shocks are not going to soften the ride that much. They will slow the recoil of the spring on the upward stroke but not the down where you really feel the bump. I hope that is right anyway.
Then again I am no where near an athority on this matter. Correct me if I am wrong on this. tug[addsig]

Check out Doetsch-Tech 3000's and Rusty's Hydros if you want smooth riding shocks, both run $30 to $35 each. Stick with Hydraulic shocks for a smooth ride, don't get gas-charged (nitrogen charged, Nitro's).[addsig]

I have Skyjacker Nitros cuz they were free, and I hate the stiff ride, neck gets sore after a while :-O I avoid them when possible, but needed these since they were a bit longer and I'm cheap :lol: [addsig]
