Shocking Revelation

[Bones]

One other shock brand to consider is the one from OME (old man emu). They are a long travel shock that netted my XJ a 920 on the 20* RTI ramp. Don't know the specs but I have a set around somewhere that I could put the tape on. I know that they took the travel from bump stop to where the LCA's bound against the axle mount so they were not the limiting factor in the flex.

It seems so long ago, but here are a couple pics of the OME flexed. Sometimes I wish I was still running it.

Bones,

Since yesterday was one month since the day Rusty send me the Bilsteins, and since they still haven't arrived here, according to the Post Office, he can file for a refund. And since I ain't buying anything else from him, I am going to call the local rep of OME and order these. I'll keep you updated about how they perform.

One question, did they come with the bar pins or do you need bar pin eliminators to use them?

First off, great research Eagle.

Second, I just installed a BB over the weekend, and am in need of new shocks.

However, I am unable to locate the Monroe "street" replacements you listed above. Any idea where I can get them?

Thanks

Just FYI IntrepidXJ-

I always got the monroes at sears. Seems like most sears I've been to has them, out on the west coast at least. Just an idea.

OK, I it could be that I am looking in the wrong place, but I have looked all over Monroe's website and searched thru their catalog online, and I cannot find the 59331 or the 59323 listed anywhere on their site?

I have the 2002 printed Master Catalog and those are the numbers listed for the Cherokee in the Gas-Matic LT series. In my area, Advance Auto carries Monroe and that's where I got the catalog. Even though it says 2002, I got it only a couple of months ago so I assume it's fairly current.
