Can't see the pic but im guessing bottom of the rear shock, inside the bushing. If i remember right they send two different sizes so you wont use them all.

hopefully that picture will work. It seems like that cylinder wont fit inside the bushing along with the piece that will secure the shock down to the jeep.

It really depends. Rusty is hit and miss on stuff. Before u buy anything from his company call rusty and discuss it with him. Get on his good side. Rusty is sometimes stubborn and an *** toward some and a pretty cool Guy towards others. Get on his good side before u purchase his products. That way he will be more inclined to help u if they send the wrong parts or the parts never arrive.

If you use a SYE you can use a stock front ds or an aftermarket one

I'm looking to do a 3" lift (think I've finally settled on the Zone lift with full leafs), 30 or 31" tires (I'm all for recommendations). What size tires would be recommended, and what rim width/backspacing should I be shopping for?

Also if anyone knows what I should do to recalibrate the speedometer? I have an AX15 transmission, for what it's worth.
