2016 WK2 Shocks/Struts - Help

[bumpy_baldwin]

Having troubles searching for shocks/struts for my 75th Anniversary WK2 all wheel drive. All I see are factory replacements and would prefer to install something better. Stock ride height, all highway cruising (work vehicle mostly).

Plus, I have no idea how to tell if my rear shocks are load leveling or not. I’ve been told that if it has a hitch (which it does now) then it’s load leveling. Weird fact, when we bought it new, we didn’t have a hitch. We got rear ended few years later and the 3rd party collision center ran the VIN and confirmed it was supposed to have a hitch from factory. So, ya..

Any insight would be amazing.

@bumpy_baldwin I realize this is an old post and don’t know if you found what your looking for. Try Rocky Road Outfitters. They offer a suspension for $1400 to $1800 complete with A arms, springs, preassembled struts and shocks. It offers about 2.5 inches of lift. It’s one of the best suspensions for a WK, on and off road.

My wife has a WK and we’re planning to get the Old Man Emu suspension when we can scratch together the funds.

@GP NOIR Appreciate the info! Yet I was hoping to see if anyone knew of stock replacements that aren’t factory for front/rear, mostly front. Trying to not spend crazy money to replace with factory parts. My GC is a daily work travel vehicle, so no lift for me (but I’ve always wanted one!)
