ARB have a longer shock now available from All-J's. I'd use it instead of the Ranchos. However the Ranchos do work ok, I have them on the rear on mine. On the front use only the ARB's. Ranchos can't control the heavy CRD front end.

I'm getting a clunk in the right rear at low speeds in deep potholes. I thought it was the bump stops bottoming out. Took it back to the shop and they had their doubts but they took a good look and it did appear that the stops were hitting, so they cut a piece off the stop but it's still clunking. Ah, the price of being cool. I'm hoping that a better/longer set of shocks will resolve this. Front end seems OK but would be a probable upgrade when I get around (read get enough $) to replacing the sissy stock tires. Sigh...

How much are the OME's All J doesn't have them on the site yet I don't think.

The OME in the front are a $100 dollar upgrade, might be the same, but I thought someone said $70.

No one knows as much as all of us.

I just put rancho's all around with a small lift and 245/75's today. The front seems to ride the same and the rear seems better to me. All on road so far. You do need a couple of washers for the top mounting bolts on the rear though.

Got a note back from Heather and I think I'll go with these instead of the Rancho's http://www.boulderbars.com/OME-N132L_jeep_liberty_long_travel_shocks.htm Thanks!

I just put the OME long travels on about a month ago. I like them much better than the Ranchos I had. They ride better, smother and with less squeaks. Also, the OME have the proper size bushings. No spacers needed like with the 17004's.

You will be much happier with your choice.
