This was also when we changed to caltracks BTW. I'm guessing the stock studs aren't long enough for the lower eye of the shock?

The proper "eye" ends should be tigged on but the heat will likely [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] up the internals of the shock. You'll be lucky if they're even the right length. Find out what their original application is, slap 'em on ebay and buy the right shocks with the proceeds of the sale (you may need to kick in a few bucks!). Free ain't always good!
