    Good Shocks for 2000 JGC ?????



    I am trying to find a good set of shocks for the above Jeep. I tried
    Dousetech (spelling), but they sent me the wrong set for my Jeep, and will
    not respond to my dealer's efforts to replace them.

    I have heard of Gabriel Ultra shocks. Has anyone used these on a Grand
    Cherokee?

    I don't care for a "hard" ride, and only occasionally go off road.
    However, I do drive on bumpy mountain roads. I prefer a fairly smooth ride
    rather than the harder ride and feel.

    At one time, I thought I read that all gas-charged shocks create a fairly
    hard ride, but I am not sure that is true.

    Another choice I suppose is Monroe, but I would really like to get
    recommendations before I just have a set of any shock brand installed on
    this Jeep.

    I will appreciate any good input !!!

    James did pass the time by typing: 

    I'm rather happy with the Edelbrock IAS shocks, they are nice and firm
    on the highway and react well to being abused off-road. Which in the
    case of Oklahoma would be considered any of the local roads.

    They don't patch the potholes, they wait for little imports to fall in
    then pave over them.

    I am a fan of OME (Old Man Emu) shocks. They are made in Australia and
    available through ARB and a few other places. I've had them on three Grand
    Cherokees and the ride is smooth yet very controlled. I liked them so much I
    installed them on my new JGC soon after I bought it!

    Monroe's jeep/truck division is Rancho. They have self adjusting
    and cab-adjustable shocks. I have the Rancho 9000RSX adjustables
    which I happen to like, but then I prefer a rather stiff ride. A
    friend has a GC with the Edelbrock IAS shocks which are much more
    to the liking of most drivers. Not that stiff, but extremely good
    control.

    The Doetsch Tech 3000 is a good shock. You could probably order them online
    from another place. Also check out OME (Old Man Emu) to see if they make a
    shock for your vehicle. They are a soft riding nitro gas charged shock.
    Nitro gas charged shocks are often a bit stiffer, but not always. Another
    good choice for a soft ride would be the Skyjacker Hydro.
