Yes I trimmed them and I've got the back ones on now.
I've run into another problem with the front shocks.
The rough country shocks didn't come with any nuts. The jimny standard nuts are too coarse. I think I need 10mm by pitch 1. Super fine. I can't quite believe there are no nuts with them. Have I lost them? Where can I get 4 nuts on a Sunday. Looks like I'll be biking to work on Monday at this rate.

Just realised that I started this topic with a rather bizarre title. Apologies for that.

They should've come with some. Have you checked the boxes? Mine came with various bits loose in the box. Some had the bushes loose in the box, others had them in the shocks as the should be.

I looked everywhere, they didn't come with the shocks.
