Shock Installation Help

[idunnowhoiam]

Just bought Procomp es9000 shocks and need some help on how to mount them on the top rear. The brackets seem like they need to be pushed through, but don't want to do something I shouldn't. Is this on the right track? Any help is appreciated.

Brackets? What brackets?

i think he means the t-bar at the top of the shocks on the rear. you can press them out and press them back in the new shocks.

Did you remove the old shocks yet? If not see how they are installed.. You shouldn't need to remove the T-bar or dog bone.

On my ES9000 install. I removed the stock old rear shocks, & had to press in the new silver T thing into the shock bushing. The parts came with the shocks. There's a few sizes you need to match up the correct 1 with the old ones. The old nuts also broke clean off so I had to buy new bolts. Pushing that silver T thing into the bushing was a PITA, but it went in.

After reading Jason's post I understand the problem. The T-Bone piece needs to be pressed through the shock bushing as Jason has indicated.
