    anybody else have these installed? it seems like the coil bucket needs to be cut but it doesn't say anything about that in the installation instructions? spent 5 hours trying to get ONE installed and had to put the stock one back on. pics show how it looked but the angle the resevoir came out of seemed all wrong. Please help!
    when rotated the resevoir hose is smashed against the coil bucket.

    Alright I think I figured it out. I'm pretty sure my shocks came assembled with the hats placed in the wrong shocks. In the intructions pic it shows the drivers side with a bolt directly to the right of the of the opening in the shock hat. But on my shocks the bolt is directly to the left. Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone else think I'mright?
