[QUOTE="Jerry Abson 3, post: 1023614, member: 65373"] So, installed new Bilstien shocks all around. And the EE away bar. Wanted to thank Swshawaii, Brett, Redranger7 and of course Todd Z! Took 4 hours because of a learning lesson or two. First, take the wheels off! I used a lift at a rent a garage, and still should have taken tires of. Second, you will need an Allen wrench when installing these your of shocks. Spent 30 minutes trying to tighten the top nut down and keep the shock shaft from turning. Third, before installing sway bar, be 100% positive it's orientated correctly. That way when you get home, you won't have to take it off and put it back on in your driveway! Thanks to everyone for tips and tricks! Big thanks to both David Vinson and Stan Stockdale for posting the project! Hardest thing I've ever done to the truck, but well worth it. Rides like new and the wife likes the ride again! Can't wait to really test the sway bar on the freeway on/off ramps! [/QUOTE]
