| Post subject: | What rear shocks? |
I am installing a small lift in my 2006 KJ. H&R springs I think will give 2" lift in the front and 1.5" in the rear. I have Bilstein shock for the front and plan on getting them for the rear as well. Should I get the longer Dakota shocks for the rear or stick with stock length since it's only 1.5" of lift? |

Longer unless you want the shocks topping out |

I ordered the longer Bilstein rear dakota shocks (BE5-A702-H0) Rear (33-185859). I have been reading that I need shock bushings to make them fit right. I know Jeepin by Al has them but 2 sets with shipping to Canada is $65.25. Does anybody have another source for the bushings? Thanks. |

You only need one set of washers and bushings to do a pair of bilstein shocks. I personally used Monroe Reflex shocks for a Durango/Dakota, and only had to use 2 washers to shim up the difference of the top shock mount. |

I recalculated for 1 set and it comes to $55.95 delivered (Over $40 in shipping and fees). Does JPA make this bushings? Does anyone know the source? If I had a part number or manufacturer I could probably find them local. Thanks. |
