Push the shocks in....If they are all the way in now, your shocks are wayyyyyyyy too long

You had the shocks pulled all the way extended and couldn't get them on? Either you have the way wrong (too tall/hd) rear springs, or your shocks are way too short. If you drive it like that, the first dip you go through will destroy the shocks when they try to extend coming up the other side...

Wow, something ain't right there. I just did shocks and springs on my 68 2+2, dropped right in. Must be pretty heavy duty shocks!!! :)
