Hi All,
I have a 2006 TJ 4.0 6cyl, and am in the process of replacing my shocks.
The upper connection on the rear shocks are not as expected. I am pausing here to ensure I have the right shocks for the install.
In the many videos watched (and on the new Rancho 5000X shocks, there is a bar with fork ends that bolts upwards into the frame.
My Jeep does not have that. Instead there is bracket hanging down that allows a single bolt to pass through the shock, very similar to how the bottom attaches.
The previous owner installed a 4" suspension lift. Maybe a skyJacker kit, (The current shocks are Skyjacker anyways). Is this bracket part of the suspension lift? or did different TJ years/models mount differently?. The bracket reduces the shock length by about and Inch.
I attached a photo showing the Top mount. If proceeding, I assume I need to reuse the bolt and any metal bushing that might be inside the rubber. I don't want to go too far in case I need to return the Rancho Shocks
