Installing lift on my 2007 Liberty. Using Bilstein F4-BE5-6458-H7 in the rear. The mounting points seem to be more narrow than the stock shocks. Has anyone noticed this? So far we've come down to either using washers to close the gap (about 1/4"-1/2") or pushing out the bushings from the stock shocks. It seems many are using these now so I'm hoping someone will know about this.

Either use washers as spacers or crush the sheet metal down by torquing it. I ended up crushing it since I didn't realize til it was too late! 8)

No problems either way from what I read. It's whatever you prefer....

I ended up using some washers and then cranking down read hard last night as I had banging from the rear shocks.

"We" just crushed mine in. I've had no problems with them at all.
