I have to call them on mon. But the stock lower shock stud needs to be machined down some and spacers needed.

Afco shocks are one of the few that can be run inverted in order to lower unsprung weight.

Inverted means shock body side up connected to the body rather than the conventional way of mounting the body down. As he said, it moves the part with the most mass (the body) to where it is supported by the spring rather than moving with the spring. Make sense?
