I need some serious input prior to forking out the loot for these shocks. Currently running with Doitche Tech (came with the R/E kit) and I'm sure you'll all agree, they really need help.
Anyways, let me know if you have any real experiance with the IAS shocks. Fix'n to move to a Tomken 6" lift, are they even available for that height?

I'm runnin IAS ZJ shocks on my XJ with 4" lift.
I LOVE them... plain and simple, they make it ride like a freakin cadillac, yet they control body roll, squat and dive very well.
the ZJ rears are perfect for 4-6" on an XJ (using bumpstop extensions of course) I know they make IAS shocks for 3" lift, but if you use BPEs and shock mount convertors up front, you can probably get a ford truck shock to work well with a 6" lift. My front shocks are really just too short, but since i'm still running stock control arms, the arms bind before the shocks do (i have about 1" of down travel, not very good at all, i know)
I don't know if i would actually spend the money on them though, I don't think they're worth the price (i got mine used, and VERY cheap)
