How to find those Monroe Shocks?

[JeeperChris]

Through this past year I've read a few times on here about using the basic Monroe shocks and I like that idea.

The problem is, how to find them if the Jeep is lifted?

I've looked on the web site (and maybe missed it) and I've talked to my local parts house and can't find any listings for Stock + Lift.

So how to find them for a 2" lift?

At $28 bucks it might be worth it to just buy one and do it the old fashioned way...

You would have to find the compressed and extended lengths of your current shocks then look for those measurements on the type of Monroe shocks you want.

That's what I was afraid of, thanks.

This is what i did, And this is off the top of my head cause i did this last spring. I looked up what the blue Monroe Stock shocks spec is. i do believe they are 12"-13" compressed, 19"-20" extended, and have a 7 1/2"- 8" travel. i have a 4" lift so i added 4" to the compressed and extended. I looked on the Monroe page the previous poster posted and found a set that had those dimensions and the proper mounting ends. Mine fit fine and have no issues. The proper way to do it would be to get your jeep on level ground, lift kit on, and no shocks. then measure center to center of your shock mounts and do the math from there..
