I know there is a post talking about rear shocks below mine (or above depending if its got a new post :wink: ). I was looking around to replace mine and found 4wheelonline.com had this http://4wheelonline.com/jeep/Products.aspxCategoryId=25851&ProductId=121362 It says front shocks but im guessing it means struts. My questions is ive seen quite a few places saying skyjacker strut/shocks, can they be used for both or what? Would I have to use parts from my current struts to work?

TIA

the link isnt working for me, but some call them shock or a strut but they are not interchangeable, I would recommend going with the Rancho RSX17505 for the front and the RSX17004 for the rear

The Liberty does not have struts, just four shocks.

x2 for the Rancho's. I would have gotten them, but couldn't get them on time for the lift.

Yes KJs have 4 shocks but so that most understand a lot of people call the fronts struts since thats what they wrongly get called nost of the time. :wink:
