The RSX 17004s are for the rear of a 97-04 Dakota 4WD and 98-03 Durango 4WD so a shock for them will work. What was great about the 17004 was they were valved to work real well with the Liberty. Cheaper shocks from Monroe etc do not give a good ride as they are weaker.
Have you checked with JeepinbyAl? Last time I spoke to Marlin he was still able to get a few.
If not can always go with the OME 132Ls, they are the extended version for the lifted Liberty and about the same length as the 17004s

My fault I forgot to tell you to check with them, last time I checked with them they wanted an arm and leg for them.
How much today? I have another lift coming up after the guy gets his refund check.

$72.99

I haven't paid for them but they are on order for a store in my area. She said I can call back and get more if I need to.

I didn't think that was too bad. The going rate was between 60-75

I'll be installing Skyjacker H7088 Hydro Shocks in the rear with my Daystar Lift. Anyone else go with SkyJacker on the rear?

The whatever the he$$ Rocky Road uses hydro shocks aren't worth crap. My left rear is leaking after 1 year.

Must be the same crap as Rustys use. Sean150 has a Rustys lift with their rear shocks, I was going over it for him the other night and BOTH rears were blown! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
