Maybe it's his first time, be gentle <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Thick part of the shock goes to the top.

It is always better to ask first then to do it and have to re do it. If mem serves correctly the rod should point <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> striate <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> to the ground. The body (cyc) should have the largest part toward the sky.

Your other vehicle or even your motorcycle doesn't have shocks to look at?

Don't hesitate to post any questions you might have about the install, or at least let us know how it went. Oh yeah...don't the TJs have a stud on one end of the shock? If so there is only one way they would fit. Gun it and run it! 1981 CJ5,258,T-176,D300,AMC 20,Dana 30,Trxus M/T 31x10.50, Rancho 5000's, GroundPounderFab front bumper, polyethylene gas tank, aluminum dash, AutoMeter gauges What this country needs is unemployed politicians.

Big JIm <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Big Jim, So what is the proper way to install a shock. Over the years I have installed shocks both ways and cannot tell a difference. On my cj I have installed them with the fat side down(ground) and the skinny side up. To avoid the possibility of breaking the skinny rod. What are your thoughts. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Page 1 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  4x4Wire  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
