I noticed the top hat of the shock where it sticks up thru the firewall isn't flush, its lik there is nothing supoorting the shock rod at the top. Looks like I need to pull them and tightendown both nuts?

Regal,

Not to diss your choice of tires, but if you went with something else, (most anything performance), you may have seen a greater handling improvement.
