Air ride shocks?

[xj_dummy]

I was wondering if I should get some for my MJ since I have this Now?

Sould I use them or get an offroad shock instead or what? :dunno:

thanks for any help.

Depends on how heavy that top is, but I would think a good quality gas shock would do just fine. If you need more support for the weight, I would think about adding a leaf to the spring packs out of an XJ pack maybe.

Are the springs from an xj beefer? Direct bolt up?

MJ is spring under axle XJ is spring over axle so I don't think they interchange without spring perch relocation modification. They just meant use an XJ leaf as an add-a-leaf, not sure if adding an XJ leaf is better than an MJ leaf???? :hmm:

No...I meant to just take a leaf from the XJ spring pack and add it to the MJ. I have heard that the main leaf from an XJ with the eye's cut off will give about a 1.5" lift to an MJ, but it's not as stiff riding as if you added an Add-A-Leaf. :cheers:
