ome struts

[rphamil]

I mean stock height. I already put new monroes on that was my thinking. Use my new monroes and just replace the stock springs with ome instead of buying another new set of shocks

 

[streetglideok]

Are they sensatracs or standard blue body monroes? What others are saying is, the monroes arent that great for this kind of use, and once they start allowing more bouncing, the springs will suffer and sag.

I know I mentioned it before on here but you'd need new longer rear shocks
so if you have already replaced the rears you'd have to do it again

 

[rphamil]

There the black ones sensa tracks and i didnt do the rear yet i was gonna use rancho off a durango for the rear

 

[rphamil]

Apologies for not explaining the situation better. Not wanting to do the cheapest lift i can just wondering if the sensa tracks would be an ok alternative

 

[streetglideok]

Well you dont want to use sensatracs with a lifted setup. As I said before, they are ride height sensative in how they operate. The reflex line has a valve that adjusts dampening, and isnt sensitive with ride height, but there isnt an app. for the Liberty. What you'll get is too mooshy on bumps, as it will be travelling into the soft range of motion instead of out of it. If you dont want to change them, leave the suspension alone until you are.

 

[rphamil]

Ok i have a better understanding now

 

[rphamil]

What do you all think about using the ranch rs5000 instead of monroe

ok I can't believe no one has said anything in this thread but I just want to point out that the KJ uses shocks front and rear not struts...

It's a hopeless battle anymore when major comapnies are calling them struts.

Thats why I have pretty much gave up
once you mention it then someone else will say they call them that down at Moes Hoes Super Duty Garage so thats what they are :whip::happy175:

Those telescopin cylinder anti bounce thingies

 

[Ry' N Jen]

I don't even understand why they are called shocks?
They are suspension dampeners, because after all that's exactly
what they do. They dampen the suspension they certainly don't
"Absorb" shocks... They dampen.

And before anyone gets on my case about the word dampen. Look
up the definition, it has more than one meaning!

Damn... I'm all damp now!

 

[first&lastKJ]

Yea, what he said.

Lets just go back to the triumph days with the lever shocks.
