I think I'm the only one this has happened to(OF COURSE).

    IF you cant band them...and you are using shock ext, then jacking the rear up as far as you can (letting the rear suspension hang down as far as possible) makes it really easy to install the rear shocks....you only have to compress the shock bout an inch. Without the rear shock ext....you will have to compress around 3 in....using a jack to compress it up to the hole makes it a lot easier to.

    Who ever wants to do things the easy way? Never seems to work out that way it seems. When I put the spindles on it went way too easy........still waiting for something to go wrong on that one. Maybe I got lucky.
