I've been a member of this forum for like 5 minutes. I need some experienced advice. I have an 89 4 door that has around 3.5" of home made lift. I need some cheap shocks. I've checked into shocks for "lifted cherokees" and I haven't found any in my price range. I've only got about $300 in this Jeep, and that's including the free cherokee. I know that the build of different shocks can't be too terribly different from each other. I was wondering if there was a stock length shock from another vehicle that would be the same length and stroke of a 3 or 4 inch cherokee "lift" shock. I'm not prerunning or anything. Just some weekend warrior stuff. I've tried at advanced auto, autozone, and o'reily to see if anyone behind the counter could help me out and I get the usual---"You can't put any other shocks besides cherokee shocks on that thing. Anybody knows that." Any help from an XJ veteran would be much appeciated.
