HOW To: Change Rear Shocks

[Diggerfreek]

OK, this is an easy how to ... It should only take 15/20 min to do this from start to finish.

REMOVAL
STEP 1 - Lift and Support the rear of the truck.

STEP 2 - Start at the bottom and remove the bolt & nut holding the shock to the lower shock mount.
You will need a 15mm wrench (bolt) and a 18mm socket (nut)

INSTALL
STEP 4 - Start at the top and put the new shock into place. Bolt it in using the 15mm that you removed.

STEP 5 - Place the bottom of the shock into the mount and bolt it back in using the 15mm bolt and 18mm nut that you removed.

I believe the torque specs are 90 ft lbs.

DONE!
