On mine there was a nut on the bottom of the strut,not sure if there all the same? you then need to cut the spring platform off,you will be able to buy a coilover kit from Rally Design and the theaded tube slides over the strut then weld in place(remember to put your new spring seat on before you weld them up though )

While on the subject, what is the advantage of coliovers?

[caprinerd]

wheel clearance is one and also adjustment on ride hieght another

cheers peps , just need to know how to get the old shocks out now

if billys then undo the nut on the bottom near the stub axle its in the middle of the tube. you might need to hold a allen key in the center of the thread then undo the nut then undo the top coller and pull it out

They might be drowned in oil so get a rag before flipping them upside down! (it happened to me )
