[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 433004, member: 18629"] I purchased a set of the Rancho shocks for my YJ and needed to buy some offset brackets for the lower attachment point to keep the shock tube from hitting the differential axle housing (Rear only). These shocks have a larger diameter tube than the OEM shocks. I just went through the reviews on you shocks at Quadratic and found this hidden in the comments... "These are very well built, but the diameter of the shell is much larger than OE shocks, which means they will hit the rear axle (95 YJ for reference). I ended up installing the rear shocks upside down, boot on the bottom, to clear the axle. Probably not ideal but being a single tube shock I can't imagine it's going to have a big impact. It's not like the YJ is known for its brilliant ride quality to begin with so not a big deal..." I don't see it mentioned anywhere on their website. These are the brackets I bought from eBay: [URL]https://www.ebay.com/itm/164581804640?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5337789113&toolid=20001&mkevt=1[/URL] My shock tubes were right against the axle without them [ATTACH type="full" alt="1639407728030.png"]118994[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
