Coilover Install

Goatbilt has this tool that makes it much easier to install 2.0 shocks. https://goatbuilt.com/product/shock-spacer-install-tool/

Or buy 2.5 shocks and not worry about it since the spacers slide into the shock eyes

I bought a set of those little suckers.  They help out quite a bit…for us 2.0 poor people

Went to install the shocks yesterday, ordered these today lol.

For those that dont want to order these, you can use some thick grease and the spacers will "stick" to the shock eyes to get them slid into place. The Goatbilt pins are actually kinda a pain sometimes to get the bolt lined up with and then you have to drive them out with a hammer bc the detent is pretty stout.

Agreed, I bought them years ago, not sure I ever really used them or thought they were that much easier.  They are not lost in one of the drawers or some unlabeled box of parts.

sometimes a simple punch will do the trick as well.

I thought about using grease but my tabs seem to be tight and it takes a little love tap to get the shock in place and I wasn't sure if the grease would be sticky enough for that. At the same time, I already now I'm going to have a problem with one shock on getting that pin out.

Take a large persuasion hammer to those tabs and open them up slightly to give yourself some wiggle room going in, then your bolt will draw the tabs back up

Sage advice. 

I always beat mine before I stick one in.
