Skyjacker Hydro 7000 Question
I just bought 4 Hydro 7000 shocks from Quadratec. My Jeep is a '98 Sport
with no lift, 31x10.50 MT/Rs. After replacing the old shocks the *** end
of my Jeep is all over the place! It looks and feels like the back of
the Jeep is riding on the springs alone. And if you hit a hard bump on
the highway, the *** end actually skips, kinda like bump-steer. One of
my buddies was following me in his TJ and said it looked like I needed
new shocks in the back. So I called Quadratec and Skyjacker to make sure
they sent me the right stuff. Both places said the shocks I got were the
correct ones for my Jeep. Anyone experienced anything like this? TIA!

Re: Skyjacker Hydro 7000 Question
Hydraulic shocks shipped and stored horizontally will have air in
the piston cylinder, take them loose at the bottom and completely extend
and collapse them, you will hear the air spit.

Re: Skyjacker Hydro 7000 Question
Also make sure the reservoir, the main part of the shock is down,
some gas shocks are designed the look like there upside down, but a the
old hydraulic doesn't work that way.

Hey Bill. So the boot should be on top then? I do have the boot on the
bottom right now. Will that really make that much of a difference?
Thanks,
Jay
