[QUOTE="squarebob, post: 340913, member: 14814"] Retrokid, I've just installed MA803's in the front of my lowered westy. I didn't think they were short enough either when I first received them, but I found they wouldn't compress completely without putting some air into them first. (I gave each a blast from an air nozzle to extend slightly while pressing the shock against the floor, then kept my weight on it while it deflated) I believe trying to compress them when completely deflated pinches the rubber inside - minimum 10 psi is required during use to prevent damage. My upper and lower mounting eyes were misaligned also, and after PM'ing a fellow on here that's been running them for a while, I decided to just give them a bit of a twist to install as he did. :msn4: So far so good, bus goes up and down, but haven't driven on them yet.
