Can I use TJ shocks on a ZJ? How are the lengths different? I'm coming up with different part numbers so i guess therye not the same, i thought they were? What will be the difference in lengths?

if it is the same type of mounting points top and bottom and mid stroke of the shock is what you jeep is at ride height, toss it on.

I think only one set will fit correctly.  I can't remember if it's the backs that ar efine or the fronts.  I think the backs though.

Where is Twisty....he'll know off the top of his head.

Not sure about your setup Krome, but I can tell you that stock shocks on 6.5" of lift with 1 tons will not last long. 

I need longer ones!!

TJ shocks are not valved the same as ZJ shocks are.  If you don't mind the difference in ride quality are ammount of dampening then make sure the length is correct and run them.

THanks. Just had some tj shocks laynig around, theyre OK i guess, but I think im just going to get the right shocks when i have the money. It rides really poor now in the rear.

Any suggestions on shocks that ride like stock?

Want a firmer ride or a softer ride  here are 2 that are inexpensive

Cheap shocks that are close to stock would be Skyjackers Hydro shocks About $40 each  the Nitro shocks ride firmer  Call quadratech and ask them which 1 would be a ride close to stock
The nitros lasted me a Year Might of been all the stuff I back into rocks and stuff  The blown shock was bent

Tera flex shocks are very good, better than stock ride.  OEM, or Bilstein are also good.  BDS also makes a good hydro shock and is cheap.  Elias stocks Tera and BDS shocks.
