press the bushing/s into the shock. then press the sleeve into the bushing. lube is crucial.

nut, bolt and a pair of fender washers might help.

I've done all of the above except bevel the edge. I assume you are referring to the bushing not the shock?

What year is it? And are they stock shocks? Mine compress pretty easily.

It's a '96. There's no lift kit so I assume they are the stock shocks.
