Easy way to make any shock fit your EA81

Featured Replies

Step 1: Cut the wishbone out of you old ea81 shock. I cut the metal circle twice, knocked that off, cut out some rubber, used a hammer to bash the metal back and stripped the rubber off

Step 2: Take new strut (both sides have to be eyelets) and put it in a vise, clamp towards where you're putting this, metal is solid up there

Step 3: Lubricate. Put grease everywhere, inside the eyelet on the wishbone.

step 4: Take vise grips and grap the circle part very tightly 

Step 5: Work the tip of the wishbone into the hole

Step 6: Hammer the wishbone in

You get a set for more travel, lowering, lifting, or just replacing?When i lifted my hatch i found 4wd f-350 would work great for a 6" lift. I pressed out the bar pin from the old shock along with the lower metal bushing. Then greased them up and pressed them into the new shocks.
