I am SHOCKED
I just got my Rancho 9000 shocks. Is there anything special about putting them on. I am guessing the back just has 2 bolts one top one bottom. How about the front do you have to take the shock tower off to get the shock down inside the spring. Also does it matter which bolts you pull first on the front top/bottom?
THX for any replys.

Rears are pretty straight forward, I usually put the top in first. For the fronts, pull the bottom bolt first, then unbolt the tower and pull it out with the shock. You can bolt the new shock to the tower first, then slide the whole thing back in, push the bottom bolt in and put the nuts on the shock tower.
Make sure you put a boatload of torque on that bottom bolt, the Ranchos have a tendency to loosen up at the bottom bushing and rattle around a little. You might need to slip a flat washer between the shock and the mount if there's a gap.
