Best of luck with the rest of the job.

I think that's a good choice. As for the nut, the kicker is having to hold the shaft - that excludes using a socket. I came up with a workable solution for using a torque wrench in combination with the box end to actually torque the nut, but I still haven't figured out how one would hold the shaft without some type of specially designed tool (besides vice-grips of course). Also, without the special tool that holds the shock in a vice it'd be difficult to torque to spec without the shock turning, and I don't want to clamp the shock tube itself for fear of damaging it.
I'm going out this morning looking for a decent shop to install the springs on the shock, then I'll install the rear springs and SPL replacement arms.
