Take it off. Let the shock extend fully. Then compress again. DO this a couple of times to "prime" the shock. On the fronts, mount the shock into the shock turret first. Then compress the shock and lower it into the bottom mount. Do it quick enough and you will have enough time to get a nut on the shock turret before the shock extends too far. Make sure the bottom shock bolt gets seated properly in the lower mount. The rears are easy too.

anytime you want
doesn't take a whole lot to compress the shock when it spreads out.
