Hey guys;

I recently purchased my jeep but noticed that the passenger shock is bent and i get the death wobble when i hit a bump on the road. The jeep is lifted but idk how much so idk what shock to get to replace it. Anyway to calculate how high the jeep is from stock? is there a certain spot that i have to measure up from the ground? any help is appreciated!

Thank you

perfect thanks! i'll measure first thing

Measure your springs.
Stock front 12"
Stock back 8"
Anything over that is your lift.

Pictures will help.

If your shock is bent or broken I would think there's other issues going on in your front end.
the car is bought from an auction, passenger control arms were completely bend along with the lower bracket but that's taken care of. Now i just want to refresh the whole front suspension. starting with the shocks cause one is bent.
thanks for the help guys

The death wobble is gone!! After putting the lower control arm mount on, I tightened up the end links and no more wobble! But since the parts are relatively cheap for these cars in going to refresh almost all of the suspension within this upcoming month! Curently my power steering pump is out so driving without power steering is not tooooo bad.
