How do I install shocks?

I just got these shocks, but they came with no instructions. I'm not sure how to fit them together with the rubber bushings etc. I looked on Google, but found nothing helpful. If any of you have installed these things and can help me out, I'd sure appreciate it.

Might help if you posted the type of vehicle and/or put that info. in your profile and what type of shocks. Many mfgs. post installation guides on their web sites. For the pin mounts, generally washer-bushing then shock mount bracket, then bushing-washer-nut. For the eye mounts, bushing fits inside the eye, washer on both sides and a nut to hold it all in place.

Hey thanks! 2000 4runner btw. You posted what I needed though, as it's a pin mount and I went ahead and installed it that way (because that's the only way it made sense), so I'm glad I read your response to confirm what I did! The Gabriel website is pretty useless as far as installation guides go.
