I just bought a used shock and went to install it and noticed that I was going to have to compress the suspension to get the bolts in, so I compared it and the new used shock is @ 14mm shorter, the body looks the same but the shaft is shorter!! (it also had a shorter & heavier spring) Anyone have any ideals on this?? The spring end goes down right?

did the same thing last night. took the skid out installed new shock, put in front bolts, rear bolts, then #@!% center bolts wont align. sat down had a beer took rear bolts out, front bolts out........ you get the picture. needless to say im ridding on the old shock till i get another.
