Subject:Re: New GRABBERS and question on installing shocks

Am trying 50 in the rear and 45 up front  

But only on pavement so far next week will hit some gravel and dirt  before the new shocks 

I noticed on GW they had nuts and dust caps separate   should I get them to be safe  Do not want to be in the middle of the install and need them then have to wait 

I looked at the old did not see a lot of rust or damage  but will not know what is what until the wrench hits the nuts

Should I order the dust cap and the rubber front shock collar  bushings  shock tower  nut cover cap nuts  etc etc
