I've had that problem before you might have the wrong struts. If they don't fit back in the way the old ones came out I would think they aren't the right part. The new one should slide right up in the hole the old one came out of. could have been a mix up at the part store maybe? Good luck!
Did you have any issues with the rock auto shocks this far, and how the ride?
They have been doing good since I put them on no complaints.
Did you run into any problems putting the new ones in? Mine don’t seem to fit through the bottom control arm
