Shock question

[Jimmypaget]

Hey so my front shocks were blown/broken (see attached pic) the rears aren’t blown but old. Should I replace the rears too?

how many miles? what did you do to break the fronts? but, it never hurts to get 4 fresh shocks all the way around.

Being that you're out in NV, I'd bet they just wore out. Happens to the best of them and just like tires, shocks need to be replaced or rebuilt (if applicable) on a regular basis. I would get a new set all around.

Roger that! I’ll do the rears sooner than later then. Thanks Eddie!

They’ve got about 40-50k on them. They were never abused, just occasional Offroaded. My wife said she was coming into the neighborhood and hit a speed bump and heard a clunk and felt the front end bounce.

The shock in the picture looks like the shaft is bent.
Does it hurt the frame when the suspension droops?

You may need relocation brackets for the front to move them out away from the frame if that is why it is bent.

Driving my Jeep like it had a set of Kings, I've been able to fry a set of Ranchos in a weekend. 40-50k is a good life for a set of shocks.

Thanks. They’re possibly older because they already installed on the jeep when I bought it *
