ES9000s are far too hard for an SJ, they are what most people use on land rovers

Would they cause damage or just be a harsh ride.

Off the top of my head they sound a touch long. Think my 3000's were slightly shorter for a 2" lift.

Don't quote me on that!

Ermmm trust me if you go for the combination of add-a-leafs and ES9000s you might as well just bolt your axles to the chassis :lol:

The length sounds about right, maybe a bit long? you need to flex it up and measure the open and closed lengths between the mounts without shocks on really.
