Thank you very much. That answers my question about the front shock bushings. I didn't know they would compress so I added them to the shock length. Unfortunately I already sent back the OME because I was concerned about the length. But knowing this will open up more shock options in the...

Thank you Dave. How much bumpstop do you typically find you need up front for a 15.5" compressed shock like the OME long travel 60047L. I recently ordered the 60047L because I thought I could get away with 2" bumpstop, but after I received the shock and measured it with the rubber...

I've not seen that differentiation apart from Savvy. My apologies if you were talking about custom tuned. That is a different ball game. I usually see Savvy/Fox, which indeed are custom tuned and different. And I expect they would perform well. But often I also see Fox 2.0 being...

But its the same shock. Fox only has one number they use on both the XJ and the TJ. How do you tune one shock to work properly on a leaf spring XJ wagon and a TJ with its short wheel base and coils. I am under the impression that a shock tuned for a TJ will work better on a TJ than a shock...

You don't think a shock tuned for a leaf sprung XJ would behave different than a coil spring TJ. Very different vehicles in my book.

Got to ridefox.com and look up the part numbers for a Tj and then go look up the part numbers for an XJ. Fox uses the same shock in both vehicles. There is no tuning done. Now go to Bilstein and do the same. You will find that Bilstien not only has different part numbers for both vehicles...

I think that is true for a variety of shock recommendations. One one hand we have people who recommend the 5000x or 9000xl for everything. Often at the expense of recommending against potentially better shocks such as the OME and Bilstein. I understand the OME and digressive monotubes can be...

Mike, I wanted to also say thanks. Its not often someone changes shocks without changing anything else. So its valuable information. Thanks for posting.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I read through most of the threads from TJFest. I don't think your Jeep qualifies as mostly stock.

Thats a lot of flex in your avatar for a near stock LJ. Nice.

What is your setup? I can't find anything in you spec page.

I'll try to do that as time gets a little closer and everything is confirmed. This year its kind of a chaotic trip for us. We have a Jeeping friend from MN who is helping his dad build a house near Cotipaxi (west of Pueblo). So things are a little uncertain depending on how things are going...

Thanks jjvw. Thats more or less as I understood what you were saying. But it was getting hard to hear it through all the noise. I agree that to some extent good shocks can overcome poor geometry. For example, I think a good shock could help slow the motion of a bounce to get things under...

@jjvw (and others). I know this thread and the other one like it has been all over the place. And unfortunately I think some people have been misunderstood and in defense of their understanding of things, the threads have often gone off track into argueing instead of actually being helpful...

Excellant feedback. Thanks for sharing. I would never have thought to put a 933/942 combo on an LJ. That seems way to light to me. But sounds like it worked. I would have used the 949 because its designed for the LJ. And I probably would have had a terrible ride. Its very interesting to...

I look forward to seeing what this thread brings. I had recently purchased 60047L and 60049. But upon arrival, I realized the 60047L is too long for my 2" of bumpstop and the 60047 would be too short. So I ordered BIlstein 5100s. So unfortunately, I will be sending the OME back. But I was...

Have you ever driven a new JLUR? Yeah, its kinda like that. OK thats a bit of a stretch, but compared to my LJ, my buddies JL is pretty plush He currently has it stored at my house and every time I drive it I am blown away by how well a stock JLUR on 35's works. It is just super smooth and...

I'm pretty sure I saw one of the Jeeps in the Jeepfest 2021 threads running the Rubicon Extremes.

I didn't realize silver was no longer available. But your right, no sign of it on their website. Sign of the times I guess, everyone on all of the forums has been pushing black so hard for the past few years, that people were afraid to purchase silver and chrome wheels. So no more silver...

Shoot, I forgot that I saw those posted for sale. I was going to contact you about them before I ordered shocks since I have the JSpec springs. I have new Bilsteins on order now. So I won't need them other than for comparison purposes. Which would be interesting to send the same pair of...
