Review on 🚛 Optimized OESpectrum Truck Shock Absorber in Monroe 37027 by Lucas Salgado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Big shocks! Perfect fit for 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport.

I bought these (plus Fronts, P/N 37083) to replace old shocks on my '99 XJ. They fit perfectly and bring the suspension back to OE specs. Super easy DIY project with great results. Some important Jeep tips: - Spray all the bolts holding the shock absorbers with a PB blaster to loosen any bolts that may be stuck/rusted. Do this the day before so they can set in, and then do it again before you start removing the screws. Be VERY careful with the rear shock upper mounting bolts. People tried to loosen them and completely broke off the head of the bolt. When this happens, it's a big problem. You'll have to drill/cut a new bolt hole, weld, or even climb into the trunk to remove the carpet and trim the floor with a grinder and cutter wheel. Don't be that guy! Loosen slowly but firmly, tighten a little, loosen a little, tighten a little, add more PB blasters if needed and they should come out. When reinstalling, apply some anti-seize compound to the screws and do not overtighten. The backs are not pre-compressed. Partially screw the top in place, then compress this dampener with your best bench press and slide onto the bottom rack. The top bolts on the driver's side front are blocked by the brake booster/lines and the air box. Unlatch the top half of the airbox, slide it aside, remove the air filter, then unscrew and remove the bottom half of the airbox. This will give you access to the upper shock bolt. I recommend lubricating the rubber mounting points (bottom of rear shocks and top of front shocks) with molybdenum grease during installation. Nothing hurts and doesn't let the creaking begin. Don't forget to leave the plastic compressor on the front shock absorbers. Bolt them on, then cut off the piece of plastic to allow the shock to rise to ride height. It seems like a no-brainer, but I think it's going to be a lot harder for you if you don't think ahead and trim it first.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
