New shocks on my Jimmy

[pjmoreland]

I bought a pair of Bilstein 24-009331 rear shocks and took some measurements. It looks like Bilstein E4-R01-Z008C58 sleeves are a good candidate for installing in the upper bushings in place of the studs.

The bigger challenge is that the lower bushing sleeves are 1.68" wide, but the axle brackets are only 1.38" wide. I'm hoping I can spread the brackets enough to accept the wider sleeves.
