maybe my truck is jsut wierd, but the spot where the shock mounts has the metal sleeve already, the rubber of the shock goes through it directly....
included with the shocks were metal sleeves to make up thickness differences on different vehicles, they were not used on my truck
Yeah, but you're a 2x4, so you have a stud on top and a two bolt flange on the bottom, right? SA trucks have an eyelet on the bottom.
