Default I cant fit the bumpstop onto my koni shocks

Anyone else have trouble with this when installing their shocks? The hole of the bumpstop is too narrow to fit through the weld on the koni shock. How do you manage to fix this problem?

the hard part is the tophats...depending on which model they sometimes have to be drilled out a little.

You need a drillpress to do this, trust me after about an hour of cussing screaming and bleeding using a regulkar drill i gave up and had to take them to a drillpress..

If you can get the tophats on but not the bumpstops you have some serious problems.. They just fit over the "lip" or "plate", not hard at all IMO!!
