[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 430683, member: 19161"] I'm not going down the $1600/set road. However, I wouldn't rule out the 9000 series since it's adjustable. My current shocks, as my Jeep sits in the driveway, measure 20.5" from the bottom edge of the shock tower (top) to the center of the bolt (bottom). This is consistent (within 1/8") all the way around. I'm assuming this measures out to a 2" lift. The 5000 (0-2" lift) measures 22" extended and 14" compressed. The 5000 (3-4" lift) measures 25" extended and 15" compressed. As I measured, my current shocks are 20.5" compressed, so the 0-2" lift 5000 will be within 1.5" of full extension installed and compressed. The 3-4" lift version will be 4.5" short of fully extended installed and compressed on my JKU. I feel like the 3-4" lift version would be better to go with since it allows for more shock travel in either direction, up & down. I'd appreciate any thoughts... [/QUOTE]
