Jeep is in Baja, I didn't get the correct compression, extension, and travel numbers to select a softer set of shocks. Washboard roads down there are murder! I did however, measure the distance between mounts. Both lower rear shock mounts have broke, so thinking shocks are too stiff, or not enough compression travel. Rear shock distance is 19.5", front is 21.5". Looking at the RE equivalent for an RE 4.5", which is what I have, the RXJ704B, has 24.875 of extension, and 9" of travel and 14.8" collapsed. So, in my research, looking at the Rancho RS55256, with 15.06" of compression, 9.62" of travel, 24.68" of extension. The RS55255 for the front seems ok. There are more to choose from too, 55128, 55240, etc. Sound good?
