They'll go on the bottom side rear axle mounts, just gotta give them a little incentive. I think i tapped mine on lightly with a rubber hammer if i remember correctly, not sure as its been a while. All i really do remember is that it maybe took a minute or two longer to get them on. I remember the thread i was following at the time said "the lower rears will go on with a little push
" And it took exactly that, just a little push. Now if you've got brand new JK shocks (mine had either 500, or 5000 miles on them.. cant remember which exactly) or you're installing brand new bushings, it might give you a hassle. But mine went on fairly easily. Its the upper shock bolts you have to worry about..

Sorry, didnt see your post. I bypassed it to temporarily solve the problem of the notorious 84-96 cherokee switch and the plug that connects to it melting. It's certainly not a permanent fix (or at least i dont plan on it being) but it'll at least let me use my heater until it gets warmer outside. So far i've had to replace the switch and plug around this time every year.. I've ran out of spares and dont have time to go to the junkyard, so this will work for now. Plus i never really change the heat settings anyways.. Whether its A/C (which i never use) or heat, its always on high. Hell if i get hot or cold i just turn the main switch to off anyways.

Thanks for the explanation. This is the first time I'm hearing about this problem. I think I will pull my dash and inspect mine.

Well you'll know if you're having the problem. It'll randomly cut off, or you'll no longer be able to selection certain speeds with the switch.

Not today but yesterday.. Rear quarter panel rust fell off, new muffler is already making noise, door pin broke (fixed) took a door bolt out cause all it was doing was hitting the hinge. And I found out I get 7 mpg. I was happy(not really) lol
