Can't beat 20$! Easily worth 80$

Ok so I finally got the shocks and installed them.

Old vs New


Only thing I couldn't find really is, how much the top nuts need to be tightened down. I'll keep looking though til I find an anwser.


Next on my to do list is connecting the exhaust.

Here is what I have currently..



I don't know if there were donut gaskets or not. Guy at O'Reilly's sold me these.



They have the same part number but look different and also they don't look like they will fit. I don't know...


Also while I was changing the shocks, I noticed this:



Not sure if this should look like this or not. Doesn't look right really to me but I'm not sure.

Still need to prime the oil pump and reinstall the air box after the exhaust is done. Hopefully it will hold oil pressure after all this.

Just tighten the upper bolts on the shocks until it's mushrooming the bushings a tad, not too much

That's what I figured.

So after a lot of looking and searching, I finally posted on the forums about the exhaust and if a gasket/donut was needed and determined that, no, one is not needed.

Got it connected today. I might have to tighten it up a bit more due to not able to get a wrench or anything in there easily. Got it pretty tight but had to run off and take my kid to school.

I also noticed when I changed the shocks that the brakes really need to be done. They are covered in rust. Rotors and pads. One more thing on the list but will worry about that if it holds oil pressure.
