lower with the 926/947 springs for one thing by 1/2 inch or so, some like the softer springs but personally I don't . All that we've installed here have always been the 927/948 combo and all have been happy

No. I may go up to a 265 or 285 eventually. I like the ATs but I've yet to hit the trail. Maybe this weekend?

WHICH ones for the Front? It is just the stock ones, rear 99-04 Dodge Dakota 4x4 Clubcab ( yes it makes a difference if you don't have exactly whats above
JBA sells a bushing kit for them

The lift is a a RC.. it was next to dirt cheap so I went with it.. but with it being lifted now I defiantly need longer shocks all the way around. So your saying dodge Dakota rear shocks will work in the rear of my 03 lib?
Oh no.. so first of all you’ll need OME 927/948 springs
Front shocks are #24-139168
Rear shocks are #24-185660
Then you can add some clevis lift and rear iso to get a true 3” that will last longer than a couple thousand miles, more like 100k+
Yes but shocks won't last long nor will the UCAs with that lift
sorry to tell you , you wasted money and doubt you have even 3 inches of lift unless you replaced the springs as well. Most get 2 inches or so due to sagged springs
Also get the teraflex front bumpstops right away it will help some in the front
DODGE DAKOTA 4X4 CLUBCAB , NOT JUST DODGE DAKOTA , COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SHOCKS BETWEEN THE TWO

I ran over 4 inches of lift and was barely room for 33s no way on a spacer lift, sorry. Plus the need for 4.56 gears and you need at least 4.10s now
All you need is the P# I provided above, they’re made for a YJ but still work for ours
If you want to go with the Dodge ones, I’m sure any of the older model ones would work

Another dumb question.. stk Dakota shocks are longer then the kj shocks and will give me my travel?
Yes
No and yes, just Dakota shocks NO
Dakota 4x4 clubcab yes will be right length for a lifted KJ with the bushing kit from JBA
I keep harping on this since I have told people what to buy, then they buy different and complain

Must be the only one, buddy said the same thing until he regeared his manual
Then he said it was like he'd put a V8 in it
No matter if manual or automatic it helps to regear
When I first installed 38s on my 79 F150 shortbed ( back in 1980 ) I could drive it as well just fine , but when I regeared then the real fun began

The manual might be able to compensate better without a regear but it's still far from optimal.
