At mounting type, what does teflon uniball with eye ring mean? 1/2" is about same as stock fitment right?

Just the type of mount, has a uniball mount ( which we don't need really ) eye ring is just the ring that holds the ball in place. Collapsed length is kind of long for a KJ isn't it? The ones I run have a collapsed length of 14.75 inches , so would need to run more bumpstop

I thought that too. I have bilstein 5100 for 4" from jba which is more than good enough. I'm getting jba 4" springs for rear.

Im not getting rear shocks...yet. I was just bored cuz i had some free time at work. I'm either at facebook kj page or searching for upgrades and etc

Todays going slow and i thought, why not google some more shock.

Anyway, 5/8 mount. What can i do to make this fit? Do i make make a fitting kit like jba or should i really find one with right mount?

Could just make up a bushing kit and go from there

You know what i forget why i was looking for shocks. I think i was imagining long travel setup on rear with long travel arms.

Anyway, I have bilstein for 4" sold on jba. I have no idea what collapsed/extended length. Can you tell me if you do?

Idk if its same as what jba has though. It might be, but jba doesnt provide part# and i lost my box.

They should be
As long as they fit a YJ they should fit the KJ with the bushing kit
