    Ok Here are some pics of when I was doing the install, I forgot to take pictures through most of it, so these are after I already was almost done.

    Now here are pictures of her after I put the new wheels and tires on. I already had driven the truck for a good 60-80 miles before I got around to taking these ones, I think that the suspension settled a bit in that time.

    I am pretty sure that I got them on the right sides, It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to double check though, thanks

    Do you think that it is a big deal that I have them upside down?

    It is not a big deal. Nitrogen charged shock work correctly either way. I run mine shaft down to put the shock body up out of the way but doing that does not effect performance.
