Front shock help
Going to pre assemble the new front shocks with all new hardware. Can't help but feel like I'm missing something
New shocks
New springs
Moog mounts
Bearing isolator
Have new shock shaft nuts. Is there a washer there under the nut. Or anywhere eles? These are stock replacement nothing fancy.

Did my fronts a couple of months ago, installed Bilstein HDs. There was a washer that goes inside the shock boot between the boot and the bump stop. also make sure when you compress the spring that the shock boot is tight against the rubber spring mount. There should be no play between the top of the boot inside the shock and the mount. I also used a bottle jack to lift the lower control after I had the shock in place to get the assembly pushed up into place to tighten the bolts. Good luck!!! Whats your new setup??
Other members please correct me if I misstated anything...

I used the stagg front shocks. I'm making it so I can give it to my lil brother just putting it all back to stock
I don't see a boot
I have a shock with the permently base. A large rubber bushing around the base (where the bottom part of the spring sits.)
