Icon 2.0 emulsion shock/rear lower shock mount

Hello all, Just wondering if anyone has the Icon 2.0 emulsion rear shocks, and if so, did you have any trouble getting the lower bushing into the shock mounts? I tried compressing the bushings with a bench vise because the bushing and sleeve wouldn't even begin to slide into the mount, even with lubrication. I'm beginning to wonder is they shiped the wrong shocks in the right boxes. Called toytec and the guy said they could be a little tough to get in but these things wouldn't even fit between the ears of the mount to start to slide into place....

Pics?

 

Have you tried switching them?

 

357sig. I thought of switchin them as well but I measured the bushing width on both shocks and they were the same. I also asked the guy at Toytec and he said that they are not side specific. I ended up using a cutoff tool to grind of a little of each side of the bushings, lubed the lower shock mounts and with a LOT of elbow greese they are now on the truck. Just doesnt seam normal to have that much of an issue getting them in. Anyway I'm diggin your rig man, wish I had the cash for steel and glass with long travel but I'm now married with a budget! LOL

 

That was goijg to be my second suggestion!


And thanks!
