Next step is to adjust the nut and screw to keep door at factory height and then install the shock. Follow the instruction booklet closely because you have to add locktite to one part and grease to another for the shock. To install the shock put the rod mount in the spot and raise the door. While the door is raised tighten the screw with the allen wrench. Then insert the pin at the bottom to secure the shock in place:
Next add grease to certain spots described in the instruction booklet.
The next part is the hardest part in my opinion. The wire harness gave use the most problems because it would get in the way of the door closing all the way. Pull the harness from the firewall side so that there is enough wire to reach the door. Use the wire cover to protect the wire. We also wrapped it in electrical tape. We used only one zip tie to keep the harness in place where it was out of the way but to give it enough freedom to move so it doesnt get caught when closing the door. I took a few pictures becuase like I said we struggled with this for over an hour:
Next, you have to cut the inner lip of the fender. We left about three inches at the bottom and about 3/4 inch to an inch from the edge of the fender:
All that's left is putting the fender back on. Do the same thing you did to remove it except backwards. The rubber insulation thing between the door and fender kept getting in the way so we removed it also. After that everything fit perfectly:
