Oh man now I know why I quit doing this kind of stuff a long time ago.. but let me get to the point so I can get an answer..

Did I get the wrong front shocks from RC?

See pic..


This install was a bit more difficult that I anticipated.. sure I did the rear main seal , oil pan gasket, header and motor mount at the same time, so I was pretty spent when I was doing this, but those control arms pissed me off, i had to buy an angle grinder and cut the bolts.

And my starter fell on my head and game me a nice gash, I was just pouring blood all over the floor


But please, someone answer my quesiton about the shocks.. they are the same as in the picture but I won't be able to use them. I already took today off work to get this done and now I'm stranded

no just unbolt the bracket but save it. i use those for the back upper shock mounts to get rid of the bar pin

u should see my hands 3 days later from doing my lift

I hear that about the hands. I just finished my RC series II lift and had no problem with the shocks. I finished it tonight, have been working on it since saturday, and my hands are all torn up. I have cuts everywhere, they are cracking, and I'm in pain. LOL, but a happy pain now that I'm done!

I just hope I don't have any trouble with the alignment, I hope the shop can get it done and do the caster

oh, and thanks for the answer, i went out and di it right away.. I htink all the tough stuff is done, just need to do the rears now, hopefully those wont be too bad because the shocks have recently been replaced.

Everyone is getting there lifts installed and mine is still backordered from RC..........this sucks.!

those are the right shocks. That's a bar pin eliminator. pull the bar pin out of the end of the shock and mount it like the old ones were.
