Message: I didn't have a problem with installing them, but with the adjustment knob of the 9000x's hitting one of the rubber boots. I turned the shock so that the adjustment knob faced into the vehicle.
To install them, best thing to do is compress them about 1/2 way, slide them up from the bottom of the vehicle near the A-arm, then loosely thread on the top nut. Then you can extend them down to the lower mount and install the bolt on the a-arm.
If you want, feel free to call me, I am E-mailing you my phone#.
