Gabriel Ultra shocks too short?

I don't see any installation instructions. Should anything be greased when we install them?

Reverse the removal process for install. I always clean the mounting bolts with a bench grinder wire wheel and slap a little anti-seize on the threads.

OK, no grease on the bushings?

OK we got the Monroe Reflex shocks installed, mostly.

How tight does the top nut need to be? I did not see a spec.

The Monroe rears were just delivered.

One is light gray and the other + fronts were black.

All were purchased from Advance Auto

We could live with either color on the rear but not one of each. That would be weird.
