Anybody got a good how-to for installing shocks?
The size sockets and all the tools needed would help also.
The rear seem pretty self explanitory, but for the front, do i have to take the spring out? or is there some way to drop the shock out, and can i do it myself with a set of jackstands and hand tools? If not i'll have to wait until i do my front drop sometime this summer.
Also, here's a pic of the shocks....do i need anythign else?
From the how-to part's # thread, here's what it said
Well i've got the front and rear shocks with those #'s on them, but i'm not sure if i need the rear insulator nut?Lightning Bilstein Shocks
1L3Z-18124-AC (front)
1L3Z-18125-AA (rear)
F65Z-18197-BB (rear insulator nut)
The front shocks (on the right in the pic) came with a nut and rubber washer type thing in another little bag. The rear shocks came with nothign else though. Do i just use the stock rear shock hardware to mount the rear shocks? or do i have to buy that nut from the ford dealer?
thanks for any info, and if anybody is doing this soon, or any shocks, a how-to with pics would be great
