ZJ - where to purchase lifting shocks locally?
« on: November 06, 2008, 10:56:32 AM »
Hi gang,

Could someone please tell me where the best place here locally is to purchase shocks for the Jeep?
I'm looking for something between 2" & 3" of lift.
Thanks for reading!

I called the number on the T.V. set & turned my gold in for cash....

Sorry, to clarify, it's shocks that I'm after for a lift inbetween 2-3 inches...
And yes, ZJ..lol
Thanks!

What are you buying for springs to get the lift?

Modern Motors and National 4x4 are both local stores that have lots of 4x4 parts to choose from.

I'm looking at using 2" spacers (1.75") plus I have the UC springs..
But are those places resonablly priced? I've never lifted a ride before...
(I can't find the darn quote button?!?!?!)
