All same length
Look at other things that may have caused it
Do you have the bumpstops in? If not could of over compressed them
plus how much did you "add" to the lift as far as either top plate or clevis
too much and that could of done it as well

Front has
3 conduits

Terra flex bump stops.

Not sure what caused it but it is squeaky as all heck Tom

You sure its the shocks themselves?
I'd check every bushing, starting with the swaybar bushings mounted to the cradle.

Yes. You can get removable ones from JBA or special order a set made to the length you need. There's a company on a nitro forum that makes them. I contacted them and was told to let them know how much longer I need to go and it wouldn't be a problem. I'll look for the email and post the info.

The nitro and liberty share a chassis. Before you order them, find out how much longer you want them then contact them. There is a twenty dollar charge to have a set made to length but the guy told me it wouldn't be a problem. :D

That's what I was thinking. I'm around 3" but I don't want them to be too long. The stock ones are pulling pretty hard on the sway bars, the rear is almost straight out at the diff where it bends.

You have a Thule rack at the moment, are you looking to sell it/have you already sold it?

Okay guys the bwoody performance swaybar links and JBA upper control arms are in and upon initial review this thing handles phenomenally. Stiffer suspension tighter steering and it just really handles perfect.

No more squeaks normal rattles no more noises

Definitely made me love this cherokee KK even more!

Thank you sir ! Much thicker, stronger and improvements all around, was going to get them extended but they seem to be working fine and they don't appear to have any strain.
