Any advice on how to get them compressed the 3 or 4 inches necessary to get them on the frame?


compress the shock to the desired length by hand, then have a helper either wire or tie some string from one end to the other. (try to get it around the eyes on the end not through them)

then you can install the shock, get the bolts or nuts started then cut the string/wire.

as for the differance between horz. and vert. i'm not sure, but i'd bet it has to do with the internal valves.
