First of all, you've got the sleeves upside down on the front shocks. How are you planning to adjust ride height when the adjustment perches are on top of the spring?

Second, either you need to re-use your stock upper mounts, or you are missing 2 of those things you are holding. I see one of them on one of the front shocks, and one on the rear.

typically you dont need that upper cap thingy. its used to hold the spring in place concentrically. but ive always found the spring will snug up to the stock rubber ring under the top hat anyway. you MAY need to cut off some tabs, but not a big deal.
