I'm installing a set of 99136 after my last two sets of standard length shocks died, but the bushing seems a little too big for the bottom mount and I can't seem to get it in, even without a sleeve. Thanks!

I trimmed the metal, do I need to try to take some off the poly too? Re: Help with Rancho install [Re: Gandalf] #808661 04/29/07 02:18 AM Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 1,067 Richmond, VA TrailMystic Body Damage is Cool Just trim the poly or spread the metal brackets on the lower a-arm a little by hitting them with a hammer. They technically don't make Rancho shocks for Rodeos, so minor modifications are usually necessary. The rear shocks take a little more modications to work because the metal sleeve provided doesn't fit the shock post.
