Installing Coilover. 1 quick question

hey guys, i just picked up a set of JIC FLT-A2's cant wait to see the difference between stock vs coilovers, anyways, i have one installation question. The rear bushing on the lower mounting point of the shockbody sticks out more on one side than the other. which way am i supposed to mount them? does the side with the larger prorusion go towards the center of the car or outwards? thanks -alex

Check your stock shocks - it'll look the same also.
Didn't the JIC's come with instructions?

You have to make sure that the shock body does not rub on the hub. Test fit them and see if they clear. Either way is not going to make much of a difference as long as they don't rub.
