Default Suspension install tip
Hey everyone. Not sure if anyone has ever done this before but I figured out a HUGE help to getting shocks on. I grabbed a locking crank for a pool cover and some line for it. Slip knot and loop on each end and tighten! Each wheel took 15 minutes to slip the shock in. Then when you need to extend it you can slowly release the tension with the winding part.

Excellent idea my good sir, but I prefer the bloody knuckles version myself.
