Shocks from a JK?

[kyleag89]

I read on Jeep forum that stock front shocks off a JK swap onto the MJ for 3" lift. Is this correct? What about the rear shocks? My father has a set of brand new factory shocks off his 2011 JK that he is mailing me. He put an OME lift on it before it had 100 miles on the odometer.

regular jk shocks work on xj/mj up to 2.5", but the red jk rubicon shocks are the best. i have a set on my xj, love them, they are nitro charged and are good up 3.5".

We have a set of jk rubicon shocks on our shop tj. I always save them when we pull them off newer rubicons for future projects. They ride pretty good and usually very cheap to get.

I already have a set of stock JK sport shocks. I'm not going to buy rubicon shocks.

I installed JK base model shocks on my MJ a couple years ago. They ride great and it only took minor mods to make them fit front and rear. Youll need a couple pieces of your old shocks mounting to put into you new ones on the front, and remove a peice from the rears, but they fit and work great. I'm not sure I would go much more than 2 inches more than stock height to use them. especially in the rear. If you have more lift than that, I would get something else.
