You can also raise the axle with floor jack, but you should be able to pop them in if you lube them.

Lubed em up with white lithium grease and stuck a piece of 4x4 lumber between spacer and axle. Let off on the jack slowly and spacers will slide into place.

Are you talking the spacers or the bump stops? The spacers just sit above the springs, the bumpstops do need to be worked in like the others have said.

I know I'm being cheap, but has anybody used the TF BB 2.5" with adaptors, and used your OEM shocks? If so, any problems, how do you like it?
Thanks....
Dave

No problems. I have "X" shocks on it and it's fine. I don't wheel as hard as some others on the site do, but light to moderate trails, they're good. I'll replace in the next year or so.

I've been running the Tera 2.5 with stock Rubi shocks and shock adapters for months and it rides just fine.
