How To Install Front Shocks - Rough Country

In this video Matt shows you how to install Rough Country front shocks onto the Hope Floats Jeep Cherokee XJ project. The front shocks are part of the 6.5" Longarm lift kit from Rough Country and are longer than the standard shocks which is needed for the extra travel of the added lift.

Hey Matt, first off ill say that your channel is a must for anyone who owns an xj as it is very helpful. I'd love to see a video about the weakest points on the xj so they can be addressed to avoid breakage. have you made a video like this? if not, I know i would enjoy it. :)

Thank you for explaining the way the washers and bushings go..I had them wrong after I did it. Had to redo it but at least I know its correct now.

Hey Bleep! Subbed to Rough Country's YT page.

[Mongoose]

Subbed at rough country! Cool channel over there.

how do you tighten the top nut without spinning the piston rod?

[jbossnack]

Front shocks are easy...how about the rear shocks? Not done those yet. All kinds of stories about snapping bolts are out there. What's your best advice on dealing with snapped bolts?

I have a poping sound coming from the front end of my xj and it only does it when I'm turning. Any ideas? I have a 4.5" RC lift with the control arm drop kit.

[dannypstl]

what about shock boots? also will a normal boot work on steering stabilizer? I see the rough country looks up side down compared to the rancho but clearly it only mounts the one way. do you know why?

Hey Matt! Just a quick question, what do you use to lift your jeeps off the ground to do maintenance? Im thinking about getting a HiLift Jack, but I wanted to ask you first. Obviously, since I have a lifted vehicle, my stock tire changing jack will not do the trick. Thanks!!
