Shock hoops tacked up. Paper says to install with 40% of shock length exposed. I used rebar tie wire to set my length before i set it in position. However with the length set to what they recommend the shock hoop would not land completely on the frame. I pulled it back out and extended 1/2". This allowed both ends of the hoop to be fully seated against frame. The extra 1/2" will be counterd at ride height once the springs settle and still yeild me close to 40% exposed.
