I am having problems with finding a shock for the rear of my 99XJ. I have a RE 3.5 lift. My kit came with Rancho 9000's but the ones for the rear are to short, the front ones are fine.
My problem is I can't find anyone who really knows what length shock I really need. I've calle Rubicon, Rancho, and a couple of shops and nobody knows what I need. My jeep sits at about 21 inches from body mount to axle mount, but I don't know how much travel I need. I had one guy tell me I needed more compression than expansion, and one guy said the exact opposite so i'm lost.
I want to get rancho 9000's for the rear so I can keep the front ones. Rancho said they don't make one longer for the rear so I have to find the model that has the travel I need and the have the top pin put in at my local shop.
