Quick question. Finally pulled the RE budget boost off my 07 2dr, and I am giving it to a friends girlfriend for her 2wd 4dr. I am keeping my RE monotubes though. Will her stock shocks be long enough for highway and city use until she needs shock replacement? I'm gonna tell her about getting longer rear swaybar links, but was hoping they could avoid buying shock extensions, and just buy the longer shocks when the time comes. They are just waiting to pay it off to buy the tcase, live axle and driveshaft to convert it to 4wd, so this is just a temporary thing. So, will her shocks be okay?

 

bump.

her shocks will be fine for freeway use and around town.

 

as pluke said, she'll be just fine driving around on pavement.

 

They will be fine..even tell them to pick up some stock shock extensions if they are worried. Also, I didn't swap out the Swaybar links on the 2" RE BB. I left my stock rear & Front swaybar links with the RE 2" BB but I did change out to front quick disco's a few weeks later.

 

Well, as it turns out, it doesn't work. I think it is because of the Rubicon springs with the tow package. The shocks were at full extension, and the springs were still compressed. Made for a VERY bumpy ride. She was pissed, we had to order the shocks and it took 2 days to get them. She has fake boobs, big ones, so she was driving down the road holding them still. I should have installed a video camera while she wasn't looking, it had to be a sight! New shocks in, rides great. Definitely a learning experience.
