I want to replace my current 'noname' shocks on my 79 CJ7, 3 inch lifted, but I have trouble finding new with the same size as my current shocks:
Front, exp: 18.89, coll: 11.61 Rear, exp: 20.27, coll: 12.20
I prefer 'soft' rides like RS9000's, but they don't seem to match....

Get what you can find that is as close as what you think you want.
When I put R9000s on my '81 CJ5, the catelog called for the wrong part numbers because I have a lift kit. When the guy said he would install them for $10, I let him. He physically measured the shocks front and rear, and put on whatever he thought was the right part for the measurements he took. It cost me 40 bucks, but he did the work in a fraction of the time it would have taken me, and I didn't bleed when he was done, and the shocks fit right. I wouldn't have know that my shocks weren't fitting right if I had followed the directions and installed them myself. This is one of those jobs when it pays to let somebody else work the wrenches.
Hi Jeff,
The problem is that I'm located in Denmark and nearly all the 4x4 shocks are produced in the US and I haven't had any luck finding a local garage who can fix my issue. I therefore have to do the job myself.....
