I gave you a link to the 2" spacer in another thread didn't I?

The spacer is about 100 bux, install was free because I did it myself, and I upgraded shocks while I was in there because the stock shocks weren't long enough. The new shocks were 100 bux, but you could just get the extensions like Matt99 said and those are probably a fraction of the cost.

Yes you did, but I didn't think about that becuase I wasn't sure if I would be able to install them myself, also I can't afford new shocks now anymore. We will see what happens, if I'm able to get the level I'll post pics. Thanks again for all help.

Is this a good one? If so, which shocks should I get, it has an option for two different ones, and I don't know which ones I would need.

Okay, I'm pretty sure I know which spacers I'm getting, what type/size shocks will I need?

I've got the ProComp ES3000s on my Grand Cherokee. They ain't Rancho or Bilstein but they are every bit as good as any of the white, generic off-road shocks out there. Tenneco makes them and they are the company that owns Monroe and Rancho. Take him up on them, buy the spacers from Fat Bobs and put them on yourself.
The only "special" tool you may need is a spring compressor which you can rent for next to nothing at most auto parts stores. You can also use a big "C" clamp if you have one...

Yea just a note, I rented the spring compressor, it didnt do anything and didnt help at all. I ended up doing it all without a compressor. Brought it back, only to find out that the dumbA gave me a strut compressor. WTF? Make sure you get a coil spring compressor! lol

And if he dont take you up on the offer I might! I have been wanting to try different shocks
