Shock Absorber Installation
How hard is it to install new shock absorbers on our trucks. Never done it before on any vehicle. Any tips?

It's just a bolt on, might want to soak the nuts with a penetrant oil. I also had to spread the ears that the shocks bolt to just a little to get the new shocks in on mine, the bushins were a pretty tight fit.

Penetrating oil a couple days before you start and then use a breakover bar.
I tried the impact but it just wouldn't work with the bolts rusted as bad as they were.
