Installation Notes and Tips

Verify mount style, compressed length, and extended length before installation to confirm proper suspension travel on the vehicle. This shock uses a stem upper mount and a loop bushing and sleeve lower mount, so matching the existing hardware layout is important for correct fitment. Inspect surrounding suspension components, including bushings and mounting points, before replacing the shock absorber.
