I recently installed lift keys on my X and gained about 3” of lift. The stock length RS9000’s feel like they’re over extended. I see that Cherokee shocks use the same mount types as the Explorer with a stem top mount and a bar pin bottom mount. Has anyone used Cherokee shocks on their Explorer before?
The stock length Ranchos are 18” when extended and have 4” of travel. While the Cherokee shocks are 23” extended and have 8” of travel. I drive mainly on road and wonder if the longer shocks will ride a little softer. I’m using shock extenders on the rear, and can’t find front extended RS9000’s for the Explorer as they’re out of stock everywhere, leaving me with the Cherokee shocks as my only option. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
