Shock sale, and how do you...?

GI Joes has Trailmaster SSVs for $40 each.

Also, when I was putting my new shocks, Pro Comp ES9000s, on my '91 Explorer, there was no room to access the shock stud with a ratchet to get it torqued to the correct amount. How do you torque nuts and bolts when you have no clearance at the head of the bolt or nut end? I have thought about using some of those offset wrench heads that you can put on a socket, but I know this would give inaccurate results.

I have never in my life torqued a shock nut or bolt. Just tighten it enough that the bushings just begin to show signs of being compressed and it will be tight enough.

Excuse this little diversion from the topic, but...Grand Junction is my beloved hometown, born and raised there! For a while I even held the record as having been the biggest baby born at St. Mary's Hospital. I would love to move back there but it just is not in the cards now. Again, sorry, but I just have such warm memories of home, I got a little excited.
