Title: WJ rear shockers.
Post by: tedthefed on November 06, 2010, 10:56:02 PM

I need some new rear shockers on the WJ Grand Overland, but with the part number on them they are dealer only about £100.00 a pair, but the ones listed for a WJ Grand Limited i can get from garage suppliers at half that. Just wondered if some one out there has a Limited version of a WJ 2003 spec who could look and see what part numbers are on the shocker. But better still tell me what is the difference as i can't find out .

Overland suspension is 1" higher than the limited, diesel rear shockers are the same length IIRC. Then again, isn't yours a diesel?

Just had a looksee on the parts for a 2003, mine doesnt cover the diesel but it list 2 options, normal duty & high presure gas charged. http://www.wjjeeps.com/upcountry.htm (http://www.wjjeeps.com/upcountry.htm) says the overland dropped the Up Country suspension in August 2003. Digging a bit seems that the SDA was the normal suspension, and SDU was the "upcountry" package with the gas shocks. I'd say the ones on yours are just the gas SDU shocks
