Opinions on shocks?
My '01 GC (Laredo, I-6, towing pkg., OEM 'oversize' tires, otherwise
stock suspension) has about 50K on it and I'm feeling weak shocks. Does this sound about right for the lifespan of the OEM units? At any rate, it's bouncing around more than the wife's Jaguar X-Type *Sport*, so I figure *something's* got to be done. Since I'm used to strut insert replacements on German cars, Jeep shocks are no huge deal financially and I've been shopping and reading what I can find. I don't currently do any offroading, but I won't rule it out in the future. It appears that the Rancho RS9000 is my best choice for its versatility, warranty, and pricing (in that order - I like the idea of adjustability, lifetime warranty is *always* good, and I've found them online for just a tad under $300 for a set of four). The most recent posts I could find here were for pre-'99 installations and I'm wondering if, with more experience, any of your opinions have changed since then. -- C.R.

Re: Opinions on shocks?
They're still a very good shock and a very good choice for your GC if
you need various settings. If you don't need adjustability, OME's shocks also have a very (!) good ride and they too come with a lifetime warranty.

Jerry, I think you're talking OME and he's talking OEM.

I have the RS9000X adjustables on a ZJ model GC. I personally like them, but then my other vehicle is a sports car so I am used to a bit of kidney rattle. Unless you regularly switch from highway to rough trail, the adjustable [although trewly kewl] is probably overkill. For highway and mild off roading, you might prefer the Edelbrock IAS that is self adjusting. |

Re: Opinions on shocks?
I think the 735 is a V8 isn't it ? It used to be a straight six. The V12 is
the 750i IIRC. Dave Milne, Scotland '91 Grand Wagoneer, '99 TJ "L.W.

Re: Opinions on shocks?
All I can tell you is my Brother's is a V12, the one pictured. It
has two computers that sit on each valve cover, that are regularly replaced, one at a time every other month, at a thousand each. Also he can't keep it aligned.
