Rubi's Build up
Axle:
No insult taken. I have a witness that saw me put these things together, and they weren't dry rotted or damaged. I can't figure it out. Somehow I have to get new bushings. ???
albsvx:
should be pretty easy, I'm sure they're a standard size, you can probably pick up some nice poly bushings even someplace like autozone
Gastank:
If it makes you feel any better, I put a brand new set of hydro 9000's on my YJ and then went wheeling... started to smell gas on the trail (was following a Carb'd Yota) decided to stop to relieve myself and found my drivers rear shock wrapped under the axle. On it's way down, it caught the rubber gas line going into the fuel filter. Talk about Crap!!! I called Skyjacker and gave them my part number and what I ordered as far as extended and compressed lengths... and they said sorry that was the wrong extend shock but they couldn't help me due to already having installed and destroyed that shock. That was my dealings with Skyjacker. That was probably the 5 or 6th time that I used them with no other problems, but probably won't use them again.

Wow, i've got an entire skyjacker kit on my taco (nitro shocks and leafes in the rear, coil-overs in the front). Guess thats why they are the cheapest :(

Shock bushing update from Skyjacker: http://www.skyjacker.com/products/tech_training/
Click on the one that says "Shock Bushing". Hopefully you can get it to work, I can't. I called their customer service and was greeted by an old squid. He said that the latest poly bushings they got were mixed wrong and are falling apart rapidly. He is sending me two extra sets to fix the shocks.
If you have purchased Skyjacker shocks in recent months, I would contact them immediately and see if you are affected.
