Shock Boots

[95C1500]

I got shock boots with my lift kit. The shock boots went on the front with ease but the rears are a different story. Rough Country already installed the bar pin so now the boot won't slide over. Any suggestions?

They will go just have to persuade them some. Use a screw driver or 2 to get the pryed/stretched over the tabs.

Dawn dish soap and hot water, maybe try going from the other end?

Boil em and then some persuasion lol

I figured it out. For future reference:
Use a vise to push the bar pin out and put the boot on then push it back in the same way. And also RC's shock bar pins dodn't fit the truck so we had to use the ones off the stock shocks. It did take persuasion but it worked!

I did the same thing. I left RC's on there for a week and it tore up the bushings. So I got some Energy bushings and took the pins out of my old Bilsteins! Worked like a charm!

I couldn't even get the 2nd screw through so before I even installed them, the stock ones went in

My rough country shocks fit perfect an I managed to get the boot over the bar but it wasn't easy.
