davebz1a@optonline.net - 06 Sep 2007 02:46 GMT Can somebody recommend what shocks I should buy for my 2001 Cherokee Sport? This car is driven by my wife, so I would like to have firm but smooth ride. I replaced the stock shocks in my 97 XJ with Gabriel Ultras and it rides real rough. Thanks Dave

You can try the Edelbrock IAS or similar self adjustable shocks. They ride smooth but tighten up depending on the load seen. Or you could go with a pure adjustable RS9000 or similar with onboard air. :)
I've got the IAS shocks on mine and it's driven quite hard. The on-road is nice and smooth, but it corners on rails. It also takes a off-road hit quite nicely.

Thanks Dave I'll second the Edelbrock IAS. Tried both HD Monroes and HD Gabriel. Both stopped the nose dive but were overall too harsh on the street. - Joe, 90XJ

Whereas I have the Rancho RS9000SX and even on a Grand Cherokee they remind you of the classic British Roadsters that used old bricks as shock absorbers. For the casual driver I'd have to recommend against the Rancho, particularly if you have loose back teeth.
98XJ - 06 Sep 2007 03:27 GMT I have Rancho RS5000s on the front and Gabriel Air (air adjustable) shocks on the rear of my daily driver. I think the ride is great. Tires are Michelin LTX M/S

L.W. (Bill) Hughes III - 06 Sep 2007 06:02 GMT There you go again, the little Psychopath, jealous, REALLY JEALOUS, over the fact that I once own a '37 Lasalle, ranting over my documents, possessions, successes, manliness, Super Southern California surfer body, Christian family, and name. What a jealous little draft dodging senile coward from 12.205.158.32 AT&T WorldNet Services ATT, Mediacom Communications Corp MEDIACOMCC-12-205-156-0-GULF-BREEZE-Florida, that of course, doesn't have a DD214, it had to have served our country for that. Who's only way to get attention is to make a fool of its self, with its goat obsession/fetish, where it writes via remailers, to no one's surprise. Like when the other kids laughed at its attempt to use foul language in elementary school play grounds, but its just gibberish. Too senile to remember what he last wrote, like the rest of Florida. You remind me of a little rat dog, like a Mexican Chiwawa with its senseless barking it's rabid head off, me too, me too. And is too afraid to use your name, address, or even sign your statement as any man would, totally worthless! Posted pornography at: news:0u7g43dkje4pdkqi07hl66s8kpifo564k1@4ax.com As a member of the moral majority I know what porn is when I see it! But now worth the time to forward this low life to: abuse@mchsi.com, fraud@mchsi.com, fraud@4AX.COM, abuse@aioe.org, admin@cox.net, abuse@teranews.com for forgery. I thought your attacks were just personal disagreements, but with passing of my country's Independents Day, I realize these attacks are stemming from my love of God and America, and that's what you've been doing all along is declaring your hatred for the United States of America, with each declaration of my signature, but just too cowardly to be a terrorist. It's America, love it, or leave it, so get the f*ck out! Considering the source, which you're a habitual lair, so these plus your other accusations would be thrown out of court. When are you going to take responsibility for yourself, and become a man?????????? People that follow astrology, know the traits you have listed are a hundred eighty out from any Capricorn. Forwarded to: alt.binaries.pictures.autos, alt.binaries.automobile.pictures groups so they may to see what an a**hole you really are!!!!! Is this what your Psychologist wrote about you? They don't fit any Capricorn, sounds like a spoil Leo. You're a LIAR and never been in the Service much less Vietnam, as you suggest!!!!! If you think I'm a Psycho, then report me to my friends at the San Diego Sheriffs Department. I'm just really curious as to who you think will believe you over any man responsible enough to list his name and address here and in every place I know of????? All you can do is lie, as most everything you have said contradicts it's self. You know what they say, once a faggot coward, always a faggot coward. I won't give up until traitors like you are gone from these groups I participate and see you've pretty well killed this group I will devote my life to reminding your groups who you are!!!!!!!

Oh, I know why. It would be the manly thing to do, and you don't actually do manly, you just talk about it. Heh! What else could you do, manly is a complete unknown to you.

Not noticably firmer in a straight line on a smooth street, but firm up nicely in a hurry to get rid of the jeep dance. If you aren't already running Michelins, e.g. the LTX M+S, give them a try. Gets rid of the somewhat squirmy feeling of the typical Goodyear.
Speaking of Michelin, has anyone tried the new AT-2 yet? Seems like it might make a decent alternative to the M+S as a generic all around tire. [question coming from Colorado but front range where deep snow isnt an issue]
