    Into the rough country front install and it's been not good, kit comes today and the only way I can reinstall the struts with spacers is if the go in backwards? Obviously not right but cant seem to figure it out?? Red flags starting to show up..

    Thats the way I have them on the top. Of the three holes the strut housing goes into on the body there is one in the back and two on either side, I can’t install that way unless I put the strut in backwards from how it come out. Unless I’m really missing something..it is about 30 degrees in the garage though…
    There’s no way for me to configure it so the bolt is in the rear and have the strut facing the correct side out.

    So the shock will be rotated 180 degrees from before? Does it matter as long as the bolt hole for the bottom shock retaining bolt lines up?

    I’m sure it would line up on the bottom, but not keen on rotating the strut/shock 180 degrees. In my research it doesn’t mention this, but the instruction are somewhat brief, have to REMOVE the stabilizing bar to get it out, never mentioned…
