    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    Rear dif vent relocated. Just gotta keep water line below top of taillight. Suspect I'll have worse problems if it gets that deep.

    Also...

    Anyone want to buy a 4x7 trailer for $275?
    LED lighting. No brakes.
    Removable sides to get up to 1 cubic yard of mulch in it.
    Have fenders but they need to be welded back on if you want them.
    Good balance to move by hand.
    Custom built. Pretty solid.
    Had up to ~1000lb on it and seemed ok.

    Is it even necessary to jack the truck to replace the rear shocks? About to do this in a few.

    No, it is not a requirement, but it does make it a hell of a lot easier, especially if you remove the tires. Compressing the shock with the tire in place will waste about half of your time.

    Thanks. I was planning on it, then I read some comments that it was done pretty quick without.

    I'd chulk the front wheels, put the rear of the truck on jack stands, pull the rear wheels off (room to work), put a floor jack under the rear diff to raise/lower it for ease of pulling the bottom bolt out and putting it in, remove and replace rear shocks, reassemble.

    Correct. Jackstands on the frame, floor inder the rear diff. The floor jack makes it easier to put the bottom bolt back in rather than having to fight the axle and the shock

    Seriously, rear shocks are easy. You can manhandle them on without removing wheels or jacking if you have the arm strength.

    Got my 5100s on yesterday. Decided to install them myself and it went smooth as butter. Not hard at all and saved me a few $$$. Thanks @Newlife for letting me use the jack stands!

    Set them at 1.75" and definitely have a little bro lean haha. Is it a good idea to run 5100s at 2.5" with 1.5" rear blocks?
