Has there ever been a real install guide put out? The included instructions in the box suck *** (engrish.com material!) so maybe it was mounted upside down? Max had his installed by Sharif, and mine by a local tech who is certified not to mention works on suspension installs daily so can't be a total moron. The guy measured the height and adjustments critically every time to ensure it was a perfect match on all sides so I'm not sure I want to blame him for not installing right. At the same time, with no instructions to double check, I will consider having him go through the install again. So are there any instructions?

Uhh, anyone have a writeup on the install?

Also need help with placing the rear adjusters through...where do they come out at? I can't find the top of the strut from the trunk side.

on the passenger side, take out your carpet and look at the shock tower.. there are two holes. you have to make one of them bigger. I think I used the one on the right.

then on the driver side I compared it to the passenger side and drilled a new hole

Sorry fellas, I have a few computers I work from and they never turn off. Even if I'm sleeping it still shows that I'm online at all times. I'm trying to find time to post these pics. I have to load the pics to our site and do a write up in between all the other things going on. I'm actually leaving for texas today because our f250 blew the tranny on the way back from modified magazines tuner shootout. Not enough hours in the day. Let me see what I can do in the next hour

Hey guys, Pete is on his way back from Texas today but in the mean time he asked my to post up some pictures on here. From what it looks like in some of the customer pictures we have seen is that the rear spring seat was mounted upside down, this could be what is causing the rattling noise. Hopefully these pics will help out, he will be finishing up the write up as soon as he gets back and posting that up for you guys.

by adjusting the spring perches under the spring with the spanner wrenches, also any adjustments you make to the spring you want to make adjustments to the shock as well
