bmaley79 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Jeep Comanche! 89 Jeep Comanche original owner. In 1989 they had a recall so to speak, they didn't put catalytic converters on their Jeep Comanche's. Included was a new in the box, genuine Mopar catalytic converter. It has sat unused on the garage floor for years. The truck was posted on craigslist. Click here to see the ad as it was. Original shocks in the back from 20 years ago. You can guess what 20 year old shocks do...pretty much nothing! So every big dip in the road causes a series of 5 bounces. So I was looking into what shocks will fit at the wrecking yard. I will also get a set of add-a-leafs, a little more weight in the back can't hurt traction. The front shocks have been changed at some point, this will focus on the rear shock's for now. Here is a list of trucks that share the same rear shocks. 92-99 2wd Suburban 73-86 2wd Suburban 85-04 Safari/Astro 2wd van 90-04 Safari/Astro AWD van 70-95 fullsize chev/gmc van 80-96 ford f100/f150 2wd pu 82-94 dodge ram 50 4wd pu 83-89 dodge raider w/leafs 65-77 ford f250 4wd 69-91 2wd blazer/jimmy 69-87 2wd chev/gmc pu 85-95 toyota motorhome w/dually 87-95 nissan pathfinder 2wd/4wd 83-06 ford ranger 2wd 83-90 ford broncoII 4wd 86-96 dodge dakota 2wd shock specs: extended:22.58" Collapsed:13.78" Travel: 8.85" type:loop to loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 One Jeep dealer I used to work at lifted brand new JK Wranglers, and threw out all the unused new take off parts. I grabbed a bunch of stuff from that including front and rear shocks. They are about one inch longer than MJ stock shocks.... at least on my 2wd 2.5. I did some slight modifications to the ends and installed the rear ones already and they work great. I modded the front ones too to fit but have yet to install them.... waiting to do my 4x4 conversion. But I expect them to work fine too! JK is '07 up Wrangler.
