Can you explain that part? I was hoping I just needed a socket wrench and and adjustable wrench for the whole process...

 

Sure. At least on the load levelers the shocks aren't compressed. So I attached them to the upper mounts then used a floor jack to compress them (load levelers are built to handle 1500lbs without compressing). Then you need to get the bottom lined up with the eye holes for the bottom part of the shock. They compress at an angle so they don't line up perfectly. So while it's compressed on the jack, use a prybar to manipulate it as you're pushing the bolt in. Should make it easier than trying to bang it in with a hammer and hoping it'll line up. Then once everything is in place tighten down and torque to spec. Let me know if that helps.

 

hey! been reading through the thread - I am in Canada and just checking out Rockauto
they have RANCHO shock absorber there "rear RS5000" series listed for $46.84 . . I am guessing that is the individual price?
assuming so - for quantity-2- after tax its coming to under $150.
how does that sound to all of you?
i guess i can shop around my self . but sounds pretty decent. here at he shop i frequent they are listed at 78.99+tax and theylll be chargin install as well
sounds like id just be saving my self the install cost and $20-30?

 

jeeze...whats the tax rate there?? Oh yeah...you gotta fund government healthcare....

As I mentioned in your other thread (wish you would stick to the same thread), you can easily install these yourself with a couple of wrenches.

 

I ended up going the lazy man's route and having a shop put them in for me, but they're a great improvement. No more 'Clank' from the back end when going over bumps.

My rears were so back that I thought my struts up front were fine, but now that the rear is smooth, I've noticed the fronts as well. I think that'll be my next replacement later this year.

 

tax is 1.13%!!

 

He means 13% . . . at least that is what it is in Ontario.

Part federal, part provincial. Then, I'm sure, he has to pay duty on parts coming in from the excited states. Plus shipping.
