[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 212672, member: 483"] Assuming we're talking 2" shocks, full body XJ with 6-cyl engine or equivalent in weight. Too much air, not enough oil. Add LOTS of oil. Look up max oil volume on SAW's site, put that in, and go down from there until you get it where you want it. (You won't have to go down far, if any.) Once you dial that in running the center limit strap almost taught at ride height will help with side to side stability. Also mounting the tops of the shocks slightly inward toward vehicle center line as compared to the bottoms will help greatly with side to side stability. Most importantly, more oil. It sounds like the previous owner just got the shocks and charged them until he got the ride height he wanted, didn't even mess with oil volume. That vehicle is WAY too heavy in the front for that. Report back. J. J. [/QUOTE]
