Thank you for the additional words..... I was waiting for the other "shoe to drop". You answered my question. You are saying the spring equilibium point is with the axle farther down than the connected shocks will allow. Putting it back together should be easier because you know exactly when the shackle holes line up with the spring loop and frame tube.
I have already bought the Mopar Performance rubber bushings as I had heard that the ride would be too jarring with the polyurethane/graphite. However, it is good to know you recommend them. I thought I would wait on the forward bushings as they look like they would be difficult to get off and remove the old bushings and insert the new bushings.... any tricks there to make it easier if you don't have the special tool shown in the shop manual? Again, I thank you Dave for the detailed instructions.
