Put the top on first and loosly put the nut on, then you can compress the shocker, put the upper bush on the bottom of the shocker and lower it into position on the axle. Put the lower bush in place and tighten the nut.  :wink:

Depending on the shocks, some come with bits of wire holding them shut, dont remove the wire. Fit the top as told, then release the wire the shocker will extend out, you will have enough time to guide the bottom pin into its hole, just remember to assemble the washer and rubber bits before you let it out

It is easier if yo let the axle droop, but not esential.

Of course if you have EAS, you just push the high profile button (smug mode on) :D .
