Be very careful if you do it this way. I've never used the KYB shocks, so I don't know how fast they rebound once the strap is cut.
I got this figured out. My lack of experience with shock absorbers was the problem all along! I just pushed the shock downward on the pavement and it slowly came back out. I'm sure they will install properly. Doing the same thing to the old shock told me they are worn out. "Life is like a messy tool box! You just never know what
NUT you might pick up!" LoL
