Assuming the Radflo's are like every other shock on the planet the top and bottom eyelet ends do thread on. Problem is, I believe they use red loctite from the factory so those babies are going to be really hard to get off, especially since they're aluminum and the shock shaft/shock body is steel. Dissimilar metal corrosion is a pain in the ass. I'm actually not sure how'd you get the shock body end off. The shock shaft end, if you can get the shaft in the vise tight enough you might have a chance. The shock body has no where to really clamp it tight enough to generate enough force to turn the upper eyelet mount.

I hope that makes sense. Certainly be easier to buy new ones, but cost prohibitive. Those C/O's are way more expensive than regular old shocks which is why I just replaced the rears on mine instead of messing with pressing the old bearings out and rebuilding them.

As for my rig...

I think she's ready to rock. Oil changed, front/rear diff fluid changed, winch tested. All came out all right. New tent setup and hosed down in the backyard for a little at home camping.
