Nothing at all, if you get them from the guys that figured it all out...

Looking for that thing i just had in my hand...
Bushings, they come in the ADD kit for $190. They do not however come in the normal Bilstein package that best retails for $200 per pair from Alligator Performance.

i would only add to this fine effort of Toasty's, the following:
front shocks go in from the bottom through the bridged hole of the bottom a arm. guide the threaded spindle up into the upper hole. twist the nut on three turns. jack the bottom around to get it to fit into its seat. cuss a bit as the bolts dont want to line up gen 2 easier than gen 1 for this.
for this to work u will need to compress shock ALL the way. the bootlace will stretch some as knots tighten and the shock tries to extend. you will need as much room as possible to get shock in. On longer shocks a very cheap ratchet strap works good.
15 minutes per side with practice
1 hour for first timers.
