Wayne,
I got a couple emails about having a pin in the kit. I went back out and
looked in the little parts bag and sure enough there was the hex head bolts
to be used as locator pins.
Thanks. for all the help.

William,
I installed the monos on my front end and had a pin included with the
springs to use. You could use an allen head bolt and use the head part as
the pin to mesh with the hole in the spring. Shocks also came with the kit
as they will need to be much shorter than stock. I used the reversed eyes
springs on my front and had issue with it hitting the frame bump stop. Used
a hack saw and removed about half of the bump stop material so it wouldn't
bottom out. Although it still does occasionally, so you'll learn to be
careful over some speed bumps and other obstacles. Good luck--wayne
