9. Attach shock absorber to the lower control arm mount.
10. Attach the upper shock tower to the shock.
11. With the lower control arm at ride height [level], and the
shock absorber at 13” eye to eye, swivel the shock/mount
assembly into position to precisely locate the upper shock
tower on the framerail. The inner fender may require
trimming for clearance. It is acceptable to trim the upper
shock tower for proper height and fitment. The end result
should place the shock so there is ½” of shock travel left
when the suspension is fully compressed. Be sure to leave
clearance for upper control arm movement during
suspension travel. Tack the tower into place and re-check
to ensure the shock won’t bottom out when the suspension
is fully compressed [deflated]. When the final location is
determined, weld upper tower into place.
