Shocks
Nomadtech Front Shock +4-5.5" Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ/WG
Nomadtech front oil shock absorber for the Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ/WG 1998-2004 running a 4 to 5.5 inch lift. Twin-tube build, 660 mm extended length and a 57 mm body give you the travel that stock shocks simply run out of once the car sits higher. Price is per single unit.
Nomadtech Front Shock Absorber +4-5.5" Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ/WG
Bolt a four-inch lift onto a WJ and the factory shocks run out of stroke long before the tyre gets back to the ground. You feel it straight away: the front end skips over bumps and articulation disappears off-road, because the shock hangs fully extended and starts acting like a limit strap.
This unit is built for exactly that scenario. Its 660 mm extended length matches lifts between 4 and 5.5 inches, so the suspension gets its full working range back and the front axle behaves the way you expect it to.
AXLE Front | TYPE Twin-tube, oil | LIFT RANGE +4 - 5.5" (10 - 13.75 cm) |
Key benefits
- 660 mm extended length — matched to a 4-5.5" lift, so the wheel can drop all the way instead of dangling in the air.
- 57 mm body — a larger oil volume means more working fluid to soak up heat on a long gravel stage.
- 20 mm piston rod — a substantial cross-section exactly where a shock takes the worst of it: side loading in ruts.
- Twin-tube oil design — a proven, predictable layout that copes with daily tarmac use as happily as a weekend in the rough.

Who it is for. WJ and WG owners already running a 4 to 5.5 inch lift — whether the car is being built for expeditions and gravel roads, or was simply raised to clear bigger tyres and still does daily duty. If your lift is lower than 4 inches, this shock will be too long and a shorter version is the right call.
Fitting notes
- The price covers a single shock — you need two to complete the front axle.
- Always replace shocks in pairs per axle so both sides damp identically.
- Length has to match the lift actually fitted to your car; that is what keeps the shock from becoming a travel limiter.
Why buy it
- A stated lift range from the manufacturer — no guessing whether the length suits your setup.
- Working dimensions (660 mm / 57 mm / 20 mm) are published, so comparing against what is on the car right now is easy.
- Szekla4x4.pl is an off-road shop and workshop in one, so if you are unsure about matching the shock to your lift, ask before you order.
Take two to finish the front axle and give the WJ suspension its full stroke back.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the price for one shock or a pair?
The price covers a single shock absorber. You need two of them for the complete front axle of a Grand Cherokee WJ/WG.
What lift height is this shock made for?

Which Grand Cherokee model years does it fit?
Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ and WG built between 1998 and 2004.
What does twin-tube oil construction mean?
