Holy Cr@p!

I spent the day putting on my new Bilsteins and installing some speakers and my Optimas.



All I can say is... . GEEEZZZ!



I didn't think it would take me this long. Taking out the front drivers side shock was a real PITA. Then there is the sick joke of a bolt in the lower rear passenger shock. Was there some sort of trick to getting those out, or does it just take that much work? Maybe I was just being a NOOB and it is really very simple...



I'm glad shocks last a while for me! Next wrench day I REALLY need to install my gauges.

I only really had trouble with the front driver-side as you did. The others went pretty well.

For the rear shock I dropped the sway bar and installed the shock bolt from the other side.

If you think the left front is hard with a OEM style shock you should try installing a T Rex 2 1/2" King racing shock with a remote reservoir and then try to work the new shock tower over the whole mess

HA! I could see how getting that King shock in there would be a little more difficult than the OEM!



Did you get your shocks back from TRex?

I got busy and didnt have time to pull them, hopefully this weekend
