Well I finally got my new shocks, they arrived when I was away. Got them installed today.
Drivers side, which was the easy access one, was abit of a PITA to get off. Well the Pass. side one which is harder to access was easy. Go figure.
I also reinstalled my pass side upper bolt opposite then front the factory so I could get it on easier and get it off easier to.

My old shocks where in good shape, OEMs tho.

 

Look good. Let me know how they ride. Those shocks are what I plan on using (or equivalent part number) when I replace mine eventually.

 

Which ones are those?

 

The same ones most people have been using, the Monroe Sensa-Track Load Adjusting Shock # 58650 (Pair)

I did find once I installed them I could bounce the bed alot easier just jumping in it. Have not drove it yet.

 

I thought so but the pic made them look different. I gotta get some....

 

Might look longer, since my spare tire is off in the picture.

also got my rear oem splash guards on

 

Dude, leave the spare off. I finally got rid of mine yesterday..lowered it an wrestled it until the plate slipped through the hole (raunchy I know you perverts). I sprayed wheel and tire cleaner on mine, cleaned out the bed and locked her in the back of the bed by the cab. I like having the excess weight ontop of the wheels now rather than between/behind them. Drives nicer, looks nicer IMO..

 

I need the room in the bed lol, I already lose over a foot with the toolbox.

I just have it off atm, first to help get the shock off. and 2. I plate to clean it, since its all dirt, and pressure wash under the truck.
I dont have any problems with the winch going up or down, surprisingly. Just 1 od the Hooks, but that easy to get to go in.
