    Lifting - validation and question on clevis lift

    I am in the process of ordering stuff for the lift. The Bilsteins for the Dakota are out of stock everywhere. If I run the shocks from the wrangle (Bilstein 24-185660) do I need the bushing kit from JBA for these shocks?

    We just picked up a 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport 4x4 with a 3.7L mated to a 5 speed transmission. It has 74k miles on it and in great shape. This will be my teenage boys first vehicle once he learns to drive a manual. We have big plans to do a lift and add tires plus upgrade the stereo from...
