Overview
The Rubicon Express Twin-Tube Shock Absorber Kit, part number SK010505RXT, is a set of four twin-tube shocks for the front and rear of a Jeep. It fits the 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ.

Key features
- Set of four shocks, front and rear
- Twin-tube series design
- Gas charged, per the specifications
- Tuned and valved for the vehicle, per Rubicon Express
Why replace all four
Shocks wear at roughly the same pace on the same vehicle, so replacing the full set keeps the damping consistent front to rear. Mixing old and new shocks can make the vehicle feel unbalanced, with one end bouncing more than the other after a bump.
A twin-tube design uses a working cylinder and a reserve chamber. Over time the valving and seals wear, which reduces control and can cause fluid to seep past the seals. Inspect each shock for leaks, noise and a loose feel when replacing the set.
Factory suspension parts such as bushings and springs can affect how a new shock performs. Check the bushings and mounting hardware, since worn ones can hold the shock at the wrong angle.
- Replace the full set for even damping
- Look for leaks and seal wear
- Inspect bushings and hardware at the same time
