I'm taking care of the subframe this week and start to install the shocks, The directions in slim. Does the shock pull all the way through the top of the subframe or do I use all the washers the came in the package. It looks like the top of the shock is made to use 1 washer on the bottom and one on the top but it's going to take alot of tork to pull it through the hole. Need Help and picks if you can.

If it's a coil over shock that's designed to fit the stock subframe, once you have the shock put in the place on the control arm and the spring in place, just jack the control arm up underneath the control arm and it will lift it up. Then all you need to do is pull the shock rod through the hole. Make sure you have a washer and the rubber piece underneath and once the rod comes through, install the other rubber piece and washer then nuts. Once you have it jacked up, the shock rod pulls up really easy. Atleast it did when I put in my QA1's and I can't see yours being any different.
