I just put my new stabalizer on but did not have time to put the shocks on, just had a minute to look at them. I had a few questions. How are you supposed to get to the bottom bolt on the bottom of the shock, seems like a tight fit? Also, are you able to pull the shock up through the holes of the shock tower or do you have to take the shock tower out?

Thanks

 

Yeah, you have to take the towers out. The right side isn't too bad. The left side is plenty tight, but if you're careful and take your time it isn't too bad.

 

They are not bad on the bottom, it is tight but a good magnetic extension helps. as far as the tops the left is a little bit "fun", just unbolt the shock from the tower the push the shock down and unbolt the tower. take the tower top off and pull out the shock. Put it back together in reverse. Right side take it off in one piece and then put your new shock on the tower top and put back on the tower.

 

yea i unbolted the towers on mine....made it SUPER easier.. what shocks did you go with? got the pro comp es3000's on mine...love em!!! great deal from 4 wheel parts.com too

 

i went with the rs5000's shocks and stabalizer, the only reason i did not get anything better was because i was on a budget (christmas present).

 

no doubt...still nice shocks... bottom line dude? even if you get the cheepest shocks from autozone...they will be ton better then the stockers that the trucks came with...usually crap out around 15000 miles...or so ive read
