Ordered something today!

[Carolinaboy]

Well I got them for $275 shipped they are over $450 retail

How much do you guys think I should be charged for them to install the shocks for me?

, I got mine in time then, 2008 for $380, that was high retail

Dealership charged me $184 for install, $40 for alignment. Installed rear shocks myself, simple breeze.

So you just jacked up the back of your truck and unloaded the suspension completely on a floor jack/jack stand. Then you just un bolted the stock ones and replace them with the 5100s

Here's a teaser shot I'm exhausted I haven't even opened them yet

Here they are! the front Sturts are a little dirty on the outside that's nothing some elbow grease can't take care off. The Rods are in Mint Condition! I can't wait to put these on!

How do I install my rear shocks? I want to do it myself. Do I just jack up the rear end enough till the shocks are fully extended then unbolt them and re-install the Bilsteins?? I am going to try to get them installed this week or next

On the rears you can jack it up or just crawl under it and take the old ones out. Install the new ones, I've always been able to collapse the shocks with one hand and install the bolt with the other.

So RED, you can do it with out jacking up the truck? or should you jack it up and let the shock fully extend!

Woohoo!

 

[Bigredmariner]

The only time I have ever jacked one up to do rear shocks is when I couldn't get under there without jacking it up. Just slide under it and get busy.

Ok Red thanks for the help!

How much do you guys think a shop should charge to install my front struts ? I have coilovers. I need an alignment afterwards too

 

[Black02Silverado]

Can't wait to see what you think once you put them on. Should ride great.
