In the middle of a 2" lift on my 77 Cherokee (I am spending lots more time de-rusting and painting than the actual spring install, so it's taking a bit of time). I have been looking into shock absorber specs with the lift, and wondered if the stock snubbers are adequate? Should there be a taller snubber to prevent the shock from bottoming out (and being damaged)?
Mechanically a simple thing. Maybe fab, or SendCutSend, or someone from your local 4x4 forum. Usually these forums have members that fab stuff like roll bars and bumpers. Perhaps you could buy some steel and cut/drill to fit yourself.
A rear Bump from an XJ may work for you. The OEM bump is 2.5" and the XJ bump is 4.5". You'd have to drill and tap new holes to mount them because the mounts of the bumps is a little wider. Or purchase some 2" square tube and make the spacer yourself.
Suggest you measure the collapsed length of your new shocks and compare with the originals. The difference will be as much or more than the thickness you need.
