1. what lift points did you use for the front and the rear shocks replacements? 2. what torque spec did you use for the lower bolt of the front shock? My Haynes manual says 296 for the front shock lower bolt. That HAS to be inch-pounds, but it's not...

Honestly, can't answer this. I can answer the basics but this is a question for a mechanic. If you have any sort of lift these may not work for you

To be clear that is incorrect. I currently have 2 inches of lift on the front of my rig, I can provide tape measurements to prove it with stock coil springs and no spacers. Phase 2 of my lift to get to 3 inches, I will use a top plate spacer, which is entirely different and does not affect spring loads. When I add a heavier bumper, I will put heavier rated spring adding 1.5", and will lower my bils to the 1 inch and get my lift from the top plate, bils, and springs. So long story short THESE ABSOLUTELY PROVIDE LIFT ON THEIR OWN, just potentially not as much if your coil springs are worn out.

I added the Rancho shocks up front and the Fab Tech add a leaf 1.5. In the back for a 2-3 inch lift all around. We replaced the rear shocks with bilstien 4600. This is on my 2001 2WD Tacoma. After having done this, I would have put bilstien 5100 in the back. Otherwise everything works/looks nice!

No to either one, I had a 2.5 BB on my wrangler and then went up to a 3.25" inch with new springs and shocks, did not meet a dropped pitman arm or a new steering stabilizer for either lift.

I can't remember the torque setting and I don't have the manual anymore. However, I just checked my torque wrench, it is at 600 in-lb. I assume that I used 600 in-lb.

The best thing for you to do is put in your make, model, engine size, and trim into Monroe.com. It will give you the stock numbers for the front, rear, or quad shocks. Plug that number into amazon.

Yes, in my specific installation, I picked up approximately 2" of lift on both sides. To measure, I took a measurement from the top of the wheel well fender to the ground on each side prior to the installation of the shocks, and then again in the same spot after I installed the shocks. Two inches of lift.

Hey Kerri, What I did was look up the manufacture and get a chart that shows all of the size combinations.You need to know the length of the strut fully opened and fully closed and about how much it needs to lift. there are dealers on ebay that sell these. Do you have any info on the old struts? is this the p/n Lift-O-Mat FMR114 0140N 299/93. Google search it helps. email me Randy 1bad62baja@sbcglobal.net

The strut (shock) are about $100 a piece. I would recommend you consider replacing the strut mounts also. Very nice setup; by moving the snap ring up to a different groove you can lift your vehicle up to 2". On my FJ Cruiser I also purchased rear coil spring aluminum spacers (2") to match the front. Keeps the original ride quality. Don't forget to retorque all bolts and get front end aligned when done installing.

On my 88 xj, I got a total of 4". My stocks were old, jeep was unloaded. If I measured while loaded with about 500lbs of crap back there, then yeah I would've had about a 5-5.5" gain. Good springs, worth the money and also don't sag like sticks when you have rear passengers...

Unicorn... When i bought mine i noticed a tiny bit of power increase only on the lvl 4 tune. I think they rate it at 25 hp gain, and 24 ft lb torque. The thing i really liked about it was it had firm shifts all the way through 3rd gear. Definitly going to help if your towing. But if your looking for just hp increase overall i would get a blackbear tune. Wont get number like a diesel but it will definitely help.

I don't know your torque specs, but it is good to 200in/lbs. I used it for primary case on Harley which is a similar application, and I went to 120 in/lbs. Hope this helps.

Yes it is a rear shock why don't you ask AMAZON why they don't put either front or rear shocks. If you look at all Monroe shocks on amazon it dosent say front or rear. On all off them. All it is sell sell sell

I ordered a pair of shocks, and one was front and one was rear. When you order yours make sure that you mark in other comments or call amazon to verify it.

No you dont. Because its not a dramatic drop. Now if you went with a 4 or a 6 inch drop I would recommend buying new shocks for the amount of drop you did. Like Bilstein or Eibach.

I'm curious as to the discrepancies between answers here. Has anyone besides Buck actually tested the torque function on left/reverse threaded bolts? I can confirm that my Tekton 3/8" does NOT work to torque left threaded bolts.
