MonroeLoad Adjusting 58646 Suspension Shock Absorber and Coil Spring Assembly Pack of 2 for Jeep Grand Cherokee

While the OE shocks were adequate for daily driving, the demands of a road trip with 5-6 passengers plus roof and hitch luggage carriers definitely taxed the suspension of the '07 Commander. Replacing the rear shocks with these only addee maybe half an inch in rear end height (suspension is already lifted) but definitely firmed up the rear ride and eliminated the rear squat when loaded with vacation luggage. Added benefit of reduced body roll in turns and less bouncy overall but not so much it feels like a truck.

Easy to install on my 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee smoother ride now.

Shocks work great especially if you are towing a trailer. Using a friction sway control and using these shocks negates the need for a sway bar hitch system saving weight and time to hitch up.

First of all these shocks are sold as a pair even if that is unclear on the site. $87 is a great deal considering the cheapest I could find them online elsewhere was $175 for the pair and O-Reilly's wants $129 each on their site. There are two shocks that come in a single box with the Monroe name on it and instructions inside. That box is then packed in an Amazon box. I installed these on my 08 Jeep GC Overland 2wd 5.7 Hemi. So out of the box they are stiff and don't allow for you to compress them like my original ones did which means in my case that after I removed my original shocks, I needed to jack my jeep up about 4 inches (not the axle, just the body) so that I could slide these in. I just used the scissor jack that comes with the jeep because its that simple. They slipped right in, I replaced the 2 bolts (15 mm) and it was done. All said and done, it took a total of 25 minutes for both rear shocks, including clean up time and pulling it back into the garage. It was so simple, I should have gotten my wife to do it. There are no clearance issues on mine at all. It sits maybe an inch higher now in back, but that is ok. I regularly tow a 28 foot trailer so I have air bags already and without these shocks my jeep sits level after I engage the equalizer hitch, so this is just a bonus. Only reason I installed these was because my original shock was leaking. It had about 98,000 miles on it. Anyway, it rides fine, should help with towing I suppose, but most importantly, it was super easy to install and I am not a mechanic, I am a carpenter, but I can watch youtube videos which is what I did. I hope this helps you out. Attached is a pic of how it looked installed.

I put these on my '05 WK with a 2" lift because my trailer with a car on it had some pretty severe sag. they brought me up maybe 1.5" under load and felt stable. easy to install and well worth the money.
