Default New Shocks???

I'm not sure if I am in need of new shocks already???

I've noticed on some bumps, the jeep can really get unsettled. Could it be the shocks (Stock with extenders for the TF BB)? Maybe the steering stabilizer???


Maybe it's just normal, and I'm suddenly being nit-picky??

If it's a 2dr X with the skinny stock shocks, they're junk. I gave a member on here my stock gas charged shocks to go with his TF 2.5 and he said it rode like a caddy compared to the other ones.
When you say unsettled, are you getting a shimmy or wobble on bumps. That could be a multitude of things, loose track bar, toe-in, tire balance, etc.

Also check to see if any of your shocks are leaking, that can cause a wobble aswell.
