Heyo,

Shocks are done. I had the shocks sent back after talking to Bilstein USA, and the replacements were the same size - same problem. Since the metal sleeve was just two millimeters too wide, I spent some time with a file and a Dremel, and got it down to just under 38mm, and it fit like a charm. Again, the backs fit just fine, as long as you get the right ones - different for 2wd vs. 4wd.

I'll report back on the ride - half the engine compartment is still on my washing machine.

Kevin
