Can I replace shocks myself?

[bwyan]

I ran a search and can not find procedure for shock replacement. Can anyone help? I want to upgrade to rancho 5000. I cant figure out what size either. I also need to replace the shocks on my hardbodyn p-up if anyone can help.

Its incredibly easy, just look under your truck. They bolt on top and bottom. There is a ton of info. on here about shocks, especially Ranchos, including the size needed. Use the search function.

I swapped out my rear shocks at about 10pm, in my driveway, wearing a headlamp - didn't have to jack the truck up, didn't have to do anything other than remove nuts/bolts and swap... I would imagine it is the easiest thing on the truck to replace... easier than changing a tire...

What about the front shocks?

[87mudfinder]

Front needs a jack/ remove the tires. Easier....

 

You should try the starter.... It will blow a mind....

Sure, go ahead, I don't mind....

We replaced all 4 shocks in less than 45 minutes on my Nissy. Very easy to do.
