I'm in the process of putting in my leveling kit but I can't figure out how to get the shock mounting bracket to fit through the bushing. Heres a pic any help would be appreciated.

 

Maybe Im just dumb but what the heck is that thing?

 

lube it up and slide it in. you might have to give it a good ramming... you know how to do that right?

haha. when i put my roughcountry shocks on the shafts were a bich to get through the bushing. put a little motor oil or silicone spray on them and they should go in...

edit: you are trying to get that metal piece through the rubber bushing in the shock right?

 

Well I solved that dilema, I took it to my local auto parts store and they popped out the bushings and used WD40 to put in the bushing and they used some kind of press to put the bushing back in the shock took em like 30 seconds. Now I'm having trouble getting the damn caliper off!

 

haha yea that caliper is a bitch sometimes....i actually had to pry it off one time and it took me like 20 min...remember about using pry bar, works alot better for the spring

 

PB Blaster...

 

A little elbow grease worked for me, and a hammer lol

 

Got one caliper off about to start on the other side, now the freakin stock shocks are being a bich and don't wanna come off. The top bolt won't loosen, I've sprayed it with WD40 used vice grips and it just keeps spinning free. I'm about to just take the cutting wheel to it.

 

not a good idea! have you got the nut off?

 

The nut on top of the shock won't come off and the little hex head at the top were you hold to keep the shock from spinning is completely rounded off and turning.
