Very easy to install. 1 hole lined up w/ the factory shock mount hole, the other 2 I drilled out to 7/16". I mounted them in such a way to allow the maximum possible suspension compression on the up stroke, and nothing more. The rest is all droop :D

I removed the inner fender well for ease of install. They won't fit w/ factory fenders, but what I did was cut a notch into them for the shock towers to fit, and then reinstalled them.
 
Looks nice, now we need some action pics! :D

Off topic, but what size hole did you drill when you moved your front spring shackle mount?





:xmas:

Less than 2 weeks for action pics :D

IIRC it was 7/16"

I think '99-'05. Got them new from the f*rd stealership.
 
They were $27 & change each from the F*rd dealership

Yes, I have the same make/model shocks front & rear. The rear could use a couple inches more up travel, but not bad enough for me to worry about it now.
 
Looks almost exactly like mine. I notice you also moved the shackle mount up. Good choices...
