Take the old one out and compare the lenghts. Round off the R6 bottom mount similar to the oringinal.
Fit it all up .... on the 3en's you need to have a "jack up kit" which are new dog bones - you can get them on e-bay.

Set the preload on the softest setting.

only in the 3tj, the 3en1's have shorter shocks, nearer the length of the r6 on so dog bones will sort it!

oh you may have to add washers in the top mount to pack out each side.
