Do the passenger side 1st. I didn't jack the truck up at all, it might make it easier though. i can fit under there aight though and didn't feel like going to all the trouble of digging my jacks and stands out
Just unbolt the top bolt (18mm) and then unbolt the bottom one (18mm) the shock might just spin when undoing the top one...just grab onto the top sleeve and it'll stay
(yes yes i know....rust and dirt galore....i'm almost too ashamed to even post these pics
When i get a chance though the truck is going up on stands and everything under there is getting cleaned and sanded the rust off of, and painted with semi gloss rustoleum
