they can only go in one way. There also specific to which side they go to. If you look on the pic from there site, it even shows the upper shock mount straight up and down. im past point of no return as u can tell by the flat spot on the tube in my top pic..it took a BFH to get em where there at. It also took a month for them to deliver the kit too me...so to me its easier to cut em off and weld on new tabs.

the youtube video they show on that site kinda sucks. you would think theyd show something a little more hardcore to sell their product instead of ablazer struggling to go up a 2 foot hill.

ive learned when you buy kits, lift kits, rollcage kits, whatever they are rarely ever bolt on. you always have to do some cutting and modification. you might have to move your shock tabs on the axle so that they line up properly. also alot of s10 guys use ford shock mounts, you can put them anywhere on the frame that you like.

I wasn't comfortable with my welding skills yet. So the kit was good. I figured it wouldn't be perfect. Ill cut the mounts off and put new ones on. Probably make it so factory axle lower shock mount would work. If this setup did line up the shocks I got with my 6" superlift would actually be too big and there rather small considering.

Not even an option. turning it around puts the mount that goes in original shock tower, out above tire floating in air.

The "company" that makes this kit is actually a few guys and a machine shop and they base it off of one year of first gen and one year of second gen but in both generations all the mounts and frames change it may not be a major change but they are not all the same and that is why a lot of people have trouble with these kits.
