That's weird. I got the bilstein and the JKS at the same time from Bryan @ 4WD. Surprised he would suggest a pair of items that are not compatible. Thanks for the heads up Battlefrog.

I am in the same boat...have the bilstine SS and the JKS brackets...went to install and poop...the metal sleeve wont fit the JKS mounts...so the JKS mount comes with one replacement Bushing, going to order a second one and just switch them out..i found them on summit for like 2-3 bucks for new bushing for the SS..should be cheeper then buying a new shock and trying to sell the Blistine.

Just going to take her off when i am wheeling so i dont smash it up untill the bushing comes in..

Let me know if you need the link navy boy (army will take ya guys on the 10th of DEC!!!)
