Just run the rears on the front as well. Problem solved.
Tx,
I went ahead and found another cheap Monroe that is 21-5/8 extended and 13-5/8 collapsed. 8 inches of travel. That puts it at 1-1/8" longer than the OEM I removed. With the 1-1/2 lift that will give me most of my articulation I had if I had not lifted. Again, I'm not removing the sway bar and the thing can only collapse 2 or 3 inches before it hits bump stops.
And I found a coupon for 25% off. So the 2 new shocks only cost me $35 bucks shipped. Lol. I'll take one pair back.
I drove it around the block and hit the alley entrance to my alley at speed. 25 or so. It usually rocks and then slaps back. This time it just did a gentle wiggle. I mean way less violent by 50-60%. No bucking.
I had a squeak. I lubed the chassis stuff. Still had some squeak. While it was on the rack I pushed up and down on the chassis and the noise was coming from the shock. Put the new ones on. No squeak. I compressed the removed shock and it squeaked and squeeled the length as it collapsed and when I would extend it. Cheap pos. Lol.
So when done I'll have $80.00 in a set of decent gas shocks. Lol. I ain't spending $400-$500 on shocks. Lol.
BDRAG.
