Varishock installation

[wmhjr]

How did you attach the lower ears to the LCA after the coil spring was already in? I used 5/16-18 bolts with locknuts and washers to secure the lower ears to the LCA. You can't access the bolts inside the coil, so you have to bolt those ears to the LCA prior to putting the coil on - and then you need to rotate the LCA, coil and shock up. The coil has to both be centered in the pocket on top as well as indexed. The shock shaft doesn't align real good with the upper hole - you have to kind of deflect it a little to guide it in the hole. Even at full extension, the shock shaft doesn't start going through the hole until the coil is compressed a bit.
