This is for a 96 with 173k, DD............ Don't want to spend a ton of $$$ on this thing, but I definitely need 4 shocks. The rear old ones are sensatracs and the front, not sure but they're silver if that means anything to any brand.
I've been checking advanceautoparts.com since that's what is most convenient to me. I really don't wanna go over $40 a shock, and would like to stay around $20 if it's possible/worth it.
I'm seeing monroe gasmatics for around $20, then up to $40 for KYB or monroe reflex. I know it's gonna be a hassle with the back mounts (one bolt appears to have been replaced already from the last guy), so I wanna go cheap, but not so cheap that I'm having to redo the job later because of junk parts. Also, do all shocks come with the bar pins, or do you need to use the old ones?
I don't seem to have much spring sag except the rear driver side where the spare sits.....it's only at about 16" instead of 17". The thing bounces, dives and rolls like crazy so I'm hoping to fix most of this with replacing the shocks. I'm pretty much a newbie at anything underneath the jeep, so I was wondering too....when replacing the shocks do you have to jack it up or anything, or just unbolt and replace them? Thanks for any help!
