Shock replacement parts?
Getting ready to replace my Z51 shocks with some KONI Sports (3013 1023 & 3013 1024) that i bought from a forum member for a killer deal! the shocks are missing parts as you can see in the pics below. im sure most of the parts transfer over but what exactly do i need to make this a complete replacement?
this looks like what i need after searching for a bit? will the parts already on my car be the same?

The top shock bushings bushings should be reusable. You will need 2 more of the cupped washers but they can be pulled off the old rear shocks. You will install with cupped washer up, bushing, frame, bushing, cupped washer facing down and nut.
You don't want the cups that cover the shaft otherise they will be facing up and fill with water or road debris.
The bump stops are those bushings that are on the shafts of the shocks.

I installed the Koni 3013 a few years ago. Dont cut the bump stops, and like Peter said, dont use the cups. Use which ever bushings and washers look like they are in the best shape. You may need to drill out the stock washers if you want to use them since the Koni pin top is a larger diameter.
