i like the way u did the rear bumper btw

To answer your question, yes it matters.

The compresion valving is different than the rebound valving in all shocks. So if you mount a shock that is designed to be mounted body end down body end up, you will be working the shock backwards.

The shocks I have are Pro Comp MX6 adjustables. They are valved to be installed body end up.

I took off the rusty's 2" lift and replaced it with a 4" Superlift and their front lower control arms. It was a lot of work, but in the end it rides and looks great. Now I just have to save up for the expensive stuff... regear, lockers, and 35's.
