AUTOGUY Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 theres only one shock out there and its the IAS shock when crusing its soft and nice ride when your push it its nice and firm Yeah...if you like replacing shocks every 6 months. They are very bad leakers. My brother in law went through about 4 sets on his Jeep. I have the Bell Tech Nitro Active. I only drove it a couple miles since I had them installed, but they feel much better than the Originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc04ss Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have a 2004 SSS AWD, stock no mods, 25,000 miles and was wondering what would be a good upgrade in shocks and possibly upgrade in front and rear swaybars, that are reasonable in cost??

Hotchkis Swaybars and Bilstein Shocks for the SS. I think i payed somewhere around, idk 700-800 for the parts and installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have a shop do the install?? Thanks again! Yes its a maajor improvement in the body lean. this morning i was cruisin about 85-90 down some semi twisty back roads and it handled like a dream. The ride is much more firm, and you can feel a lot more of the road, but i cant give a full account as my rear shocks arent on yet. All in all im very impressed. and yeah, i did have a shop do it. they charged me $130 just to stick the rear swaybar on, due to all the drilling into the frame and such.
