Installing Air Shocks on a XJ | Hope it Works

[@JettRhoads]

I’ve been running air shocks on my xj for about a year, love em so far! Been on quite a few wheeling trips in it and have the old girl loaded pretty heavy.

Good to hear!

Hey great! This is one thing I have considered from time to time. Thought of trying it myself. Also thought of running air shocks on a secondary mount (dual rear shocks). Thank you for this. I will add it to my research and thought process.

[@99jeepxjguy97]

Oh, BTW, each shock should have an individual inflator. DON'T "T" them together!

[@JeepinJimmy]

Right on man! Thanks for watching

[@JeepinJimmy]

I was just following the directions haha. Whats the reasoning for having individuals?

[@99jeepxjguy97]

@@JeepinJimmy Individually plumbed inflators allow tuning of suspension ride height to account for uneven side to side loading of the vehicle. Also (and more important), with the shocks supply air plumbed together, the air can pass from one side to the other. So, in cornering or sidehilling, the air goes from the loaded side to the unloaded side, causing the unloaded side to lift even more . . .

Hey Jimmy it works good on my hardbody however if you are wheeling don't put to much airpressure in or they will push them selves apart if you flex out and they will fold in half... happened to me.... have fun

[@JeepinJimmy]
