I'm guessing that if they're the original 20 year old shocks, they'll probably be the original springs too. Which means they're probably extremely tired.
Mansfield 4X4 can supply stock height springs and shocks, as can Lighthouse.
Personally, I would be tempted to fit a 2.5" Old Man Emu kit, they seem to ride so much better than stock. I fitted OME to my first YJ and it transformed it into a comfortable daily driver.












Bit pricey though........ :icon_eek:
