Review: Great budget replacement for a slightly lifted TJ - Fit great on my 2000 Jeep TJ Sport. I added different bushings and these operate quietly and as expected. I would recommend for a budget replacement for anyone with a slightly lifted Jeep. If you are doing more substantial off-road, I would suggest something a bit more robust.
Review: Very good shocks for the money - So far I love the new shocks on my Jeep XJ. Greatly improved my handling on the road and off..

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these fit a stock 98 jeep cherokee sport, or are they too long? i will be pairing them with the crown heavy duty springs and coils.**
A: These will fit from a 1 inch to 3 inch lift. You maybe be able to get away with it if the new front springs are taller, may want to double check with a representative from rough country.

**Q: Collapsed and extended length**
A: Not sure but had them installed on my 2004 TJ with a 2/2.5 in lift. Rides ok for a daily driver no off reading

**Q: Quantity 2?  Sorry for the stupid question, it shows two shocks in the picture, but nowhere does it say "2". ... this is for my 2000 JK with a 3" lift**
A: 2 shocks come with, however this is for jeep Cherokee XJ, these probably won't mount to your JK

**Q: This fit 2010 ram1500 2wd?**
A: No these will not fit. You will need Part # 23227_A.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Customer service
*by J***B on February 20, 2024*

The shocks seem to be a good quality, although I had an issue with the nut missing from one shock absorber. The bushings and washers were there. Just was missing a nut. That presents a problem for me because I am 30 miles from anywhere. Customer service responded quickly and shipped me out the missing hardware within an hour. I’m very grateful for their quick response to the matter and handling it without question.
