Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and lowered leaf spring configuration before installation. This shock uses center-of-the-loop measuring points at both ends, so compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke to the removed part before final assembly. Inspect mounting points, bushings, and surrounding suspension hardware for wear or damage during replacement.
