RE: Shocks and Bushings

I'll repeat my recommendation for Bilsteins. I think at $49.95 each, they're
the best deal you're likely to come across. The shock body is forged from
a slug of steel, not crimped from tube stock. They are rebuildable and tunable
(though only by Bilstein and NASCAR teams). And they have a catalog application
for the 2W Dakota, I believe.

I wanted to replace my front sway bar mounts with urethane too, but couldn't
find any that would work. I'm planning to get new stock ones soon.

I did use urethane shock mount bushings up front, and they seem to work.
I believe they're from Energy Suspension. Bought them at Off-Road Warehouse.
