Those shocks at Eastern are only half of what you need....there part numbers are lowers only but pic is of an upper.
Upper tube has sticker only
Upper and lower cylinder are different length.
Lower tube slides into upper tube.

Got these from Eastern and they're a little rough. I don't know if they will work but I will give them a shot. These were $50 plus shipping
You only got half...and they look bad.....you should have 2 long, 2 sort shocks, and 4 green tubes...2 of which will slide into the other 2....and if dented...they may not slide in.

I'm interested in what you have if they function and look better than these.
Please send me some pics.
Thanks

So.... Whats the trick to getting the shock to stay depressed long enough to get it bolted in.

You don’t compress them, you remove the limiting ropes, attach each lift shock to either top or bottom ball, insert retainer clip, open the hatch to the point it’s standing straight up, insert other end into ball, install clip and your done.
helps to have a helper….

Sure would help to have another set of hands. But I'm solo, so I guess I will have to use a rope to tie the roof in a vertical position if I can get it that high in a RELATIVELY safe manner

Back up against a tree and open it "rumble seat" style.

Welp, got one in and it was a serious struggle. Then this happened on the second.

THAT piece of hardward broken is really scary!
It could be the end of a lot of toys in a ditch...
