So I did a bunch of searching and I found that the Monroe YJ front shocks have eye holes at both ends.. one end will accept a barpin with some persuasion..
or you can use the upper front shock conversions that are availible from JKS and others..
so that takes care of the front and extends the length an inch
Now the bottom
I heard from several sources that there is a metal sleeve in the bottom rubber bushing...
I know the XJ bottom mount uses a bar pin similar to the upper mount on the rear shocks..
-------------------------------------
So heres what I figure you could do to solve this..
Either Drill out or press out the metal sleeve in the bushing and persuade the bar pin to go into it.....
or
Burn out the bushing and put a proper sized Poly bushing w/ Bar pin in
or a lower Bar pin eliminator
(Which would probably compress the shock enough at rest that I would bottom the shock out at only 3" of lift when I flex without some seriously limited uptravel due to the 2-3" taller bumpstops..)
....................................................................................
If you don't know can someone recommend some cheap front shocks that are long enough for my 3" lift?
I'm starting to lean towards just getting a set of 3" lift rancho or rustys shocks and being done with it... regardless if they cost more..
