To replace the front shocks on 2006 2WD I just have to remove two 13mm bolts (per shock) and slide the shock down?

 

If yours has that kinda setup then yes. There is a nut that holds it to the top of the coil bucket also.

 

Thanks, just finished checking out the service manual. Looks easy enough.

Do you know anything about the Bilsteins? I'm pretty much sold on them, but I've heard they're a little stiff (I guess anything compared to stock is)

 

Yeah, my threads got jacked up when I was taking that bolt out...Luckily I got it out all of the way and I just used a slightly smaller bolt that still caught the threads on the inside, but wasn't so tight that it got caught up on the bad ones, and just put a nut on the back and tightened it up really well with some lock tight. It's been holding just fine.
