Got shocks...now what?

My rear RS5000s arrived today and I'm a little anxious to get them
installed. Weather permitting, I'm doing it Monday. Some questions, as
I've never done this before:

Do I need to fully relax the suspension?
The shocks shipped fully compressed - there's no metal band holding them
this way, they just are. Correct way to extend them?
Decided to keep the stock rubber bushings in there, I can't pull them
out w/o ruining them. Should I lube them somehow?
Any major gotchas I need to watch out for?
