Rear shock installation

I did try the tapered spike in the top hole but have not tried it yet with the jack under the shock. I will try that next this weekend. It is hot here in Texas so the joys of laying under the car with the crowded IRS is even more special this time of year. All worth it though to have the coolest car in the world. Thank you all for your tips.
