Just thought I'd throw this out there for whomever is planning a lift in the future using Bilsteins on the rear.

You need some washers for the shock mounts as the Bilsteins aren't as wide as OEM. After my life, it sounded like the rear end was going to fall off the Jeep until I added 3 washers to the top and 1 on the bottom. Just a little FYI...

You could always do what I did also. Press out the shock bushing sleeves from the factory shocks, taper and press it into the Bilsteins. Much better solution than washers and it will fit the bolt and mounting space exactly the way it should. I have pics floatin around here somewhere.......
