    I blew a rear shock yesterday while cruising near Moab. Actually it looks like the shock came apart from the bushing. How hard is it to replace it on my own? I watched a YouTube video and the guy had a hard time. Where do you suggest to buy shocks? The last owner put some stiffer ones on, and I like how high my trucks rides. What brand would work? I'm new to the Taco world. Thoughts?

    Give wheelers off road a call & they'll get you fixed up.

    Definitely go to Wheelers for the shocks. As for installing them, pretty simple. 2 bolts and 4 bushings per side. Just have to push them up to get it on the stud. No need to Jack the truck up either
