This might be a dumb question but... I just noticed one of my rear shocks may be on backwards. I have a Sahara and put on Rubi springs & shocks, however I just noticed on the rear passenger side one, which happens to be the last one I swapped, you can see the warning label/sticker. Sounds like I was in a hurry to complete the work and enjoy the fruits of my labor! So my question is, do I need to take it off and put it on 180 degrees or is this just a visual issue? No other issues that I'm aware of, no noises or anything strange and it rides just great. Thanks in advance!

If you mean 180 degrees top to bottom, yes, you need to flip it. If you mean 180 degrees front to back, no, it makes no difference.

Yes front to back, as in backwards not upside down. Big thanks, that’s what I assumed but my add/ocd may not allow me to leave it alone
