:bang: having a b!+€# of a time finding the right size shocks for a 6.5" long arm lift. Nobody seems to think Cherokees get that big. Any recommended sites? Always open to brand suggestion as well.

I would check out the usual lift kit sites like roughcountry.com http://www.roughcountry.com/shocks-n20-series.php?id=3
AND/OR... you can buy some shock cheaters like from detours. right here: http://detoursusa.com/fsc.php

Rough country shocks won't last long if you wheel it. My first set lasted a little over a year, this set only bout 6 months

Bilstein's are definitely a good choice. You can feel the difference and to me they are better than the Rancho's.

Did you get this figured out? I'm assuming you went out and flexed to measure extended length and then at rest? Hit up Frank at http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.com/Suspension-Lift-Kits/Bilstein-Shock-Absorbers/5100-Series?zenid=531db5f36a3253b32c747b09e4116608

10's is what most people run in the front of xjs you can fit 12s but have to lower the lower mount to fit and bumpstop accordingly which you should do regardless. :patriot:
