Yup found them. Thanks for the help. Will get them installed. I need to adjust the stop rings, so will get it all done.

And this is supposed to be normal? It took out a lot of the bow by tightening them up. It's at about 3" of lift currently .

NO! as i said, you need to add preload to the coil-over. you have them set too low and they are not designed for that. proper setup is important to ensure the coil-over is working properly. 3.5" of lift is about as low as they can be set and still function properly.

but they are yours, so you can run them any way you want to.

So are mine. Not sure why I worry, I only had one clamp on my resi shocks before and this one is not moving because of the resi line too.

I will grab some pictures to get your all critique on my install.

Few things I didn't use front shock relocate bracket, already had synergies, same thing. Bump stops and sway bars, as the ones I have already work.

I still need to flex it out for clearance as I just finished installing the other day.

Make sure you adjust the two silver timing rings are about a half inch above the slider. That should quiet them down.

What is the best way to go about this? Mine need adjusted down a good distance.

I added preload to them and it helped quiet them down a lot! I will lift them up more as soon as my rears get here.

Thanks for your help....

Good question, I would like to know this too, if anyone has some pointers.

Couple pictures of mine. My rear c/o maybe has one turn from the top of the shock(cannot see in pic), but it doesn't look like I have a lot of shaft showing. Not sure if that is normal.

I'm sure there is a more elegant way, but I just tap the bottom ring until loose, then spin it all the way down to 1/2" above the slider. Then spin the top one down and tap it tight.

Obviously do this on level ground, not when testing your flex. :)
