Hey there!
I have an unlifted 2005 Wrangler Unlimited (LJ) with 140K on the I6 and I love it!
The shocks at all four corners are original and rusting through.
I am looking for less shudder on the highway so I thought I would add new shocks to the mix - looking for cheap and cheerful OEM ride rather than rock crawling bone shakers.

Skyjacker Hydro 7000s are meh but have to be better than stock (right?)
I have 11" springs up front and the shock tower is 17" from bracket to bracket.
Their website says that the H7049 is a perfect fit and it shows up three days later.
The H7049 is 16.25 inches long fully compressed..?
Given my tired springs I would have to put a jack in there to shoehorn them into place.
My question for the Experts:
#1 Have I lost my mind and the H7049 is perfect? How does that work?
#2 When I call them up to ask about this I think the H7016 looks about right (13.5" to 22" range) What do you think?
#3 Should I tell them to take it all back and just buy Gabriels from the zone?
Thanks for your insight - you people rock!
