Shocks
Nomadtech Rear Shock +3.5-4.5" Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ/WG
Nomadtech rear oil shock absorber for the Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ/WG 1998-2004 with a 3.5 to 4.5 inch lift. Twin-tube design, 660 mm extended length, 57 mm body and a 20 mm rod — sized so the rear wheel can use its full droop. Price is per single unit.
Nomadtech Rear Shock Absorber +3.5-4.5" Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ/WG
The back of a lifted WJ gives away tired dampers faster than the front: the car starts wallowing over bumps and, coming off an obstacle, the rear wheel leaves the ground sooner than it should. Usually it is not just wear — it is that the stock length never caught up with the lift.
This shock is specified for lifts from 3.5 to 4.5 inches and measures 660 mm extended, so the rear axle gets its full working range back instead of hanging at the end of its stroke.
AXLE Rear | TYPE Twin-tube, oil | LIFT RANGE +3.5 - 4.5" |
Key benefits
- 660 mm extended length — matched to a 3.5-4.5" lift so the wheel can drop fully rather than stopping on the shock.
- 57 mm body — a healthy oil volume, which translates into steadier behaviour over a long, broken stretch.
- 20 mm piston rod — a strong section where the rear axle loads a damper hardest, in ruts and through turns.
- Twin-tube oil design — a predictable, well-understood layout that works in a car used on tarmac and off it alike.

Who it is for. Grand Cherokee WJ and WG owners running roughly four inches of lift — whether building the car for trips off the tarmac or simply replacing dampers worn out over a season. If your lift is taller, look for the version covering that range.
Fitting notes
- The price is for one shock — two are needed for the complete rear axle.
- Replace shocks in pairs per axle so both sides behave identically.
- Length has to match the lift actually fitted, otherwise the shock starts limiting suspension travel.
Why buy it
- A clearly stated lift range, so there is no working out whether 660 mm suits your setup.
- Full working dimensions let you compare it against whatever is on the car now.
- Szekla4x4.pl also runs an off-road workshop, so selection and fitting can be left to people who do it daily.
Take two and finish the rear so it works in step with the front.
