    Stock D27/25 are narrower than the D30. Some folks open them up - I got new D30's with dual pins so I could keep the shock in the right place.

    If you have the time and money, I would do what worlock did and order an aftermarket setup with double shock mounts (preferred method). Or, if you are in a pinch and need to get the jeep on the road, you can re-use the stock ones but you will need to do a little filing and will need to bend the u bolts slightly in to get them to work. I used a large C clamp to bend the u bolts in just enough to allow the stock spring plate to slide over.

    They are on the Rocky Mountain Suspension Page - Number 2402 at the bottom of the page (pretty sure that's the one I used, but can not find my sheet).
