Am trying 50 in the rear and 45 up front  

But only on pavement so far next week will hit some gravel and dirt  before the new shocks 

I noticed on GW they had nuts and dust caps separate   should I get them to be safe  Do not want to be in the middle of the install and need them then have to wait 

I looked at the old did not see a lot of rust or damage  but will not know what is what until the wrench hits the nuts

Should I order the dust cap and the rubber front shock collar  bushings  shock tower  nut cover cap nuts  etc etc
