Shock installation

I got my Billy 5100's today. How hard is it to install on my own? Help!

 

do I need to compress the springs?

 

Yes. The clip holds up the plate on the bottom of the coil.

 

yep....gotta compress the springs. if you use a spring compressor......be very careful..........they can hurt you if you arent familiar with using them. if you need to.....take the shocks and the strut assy's to a local tire shop.....they should be able to swap them out for ya pretty quickly. thats what i did to mine.

 

Good to know, that's what I'll probably end up doing. Thanks for the info!

 

And make sure you get an allignment. good luck man post pics when your done.

 

Yeah I let my fiance drive offroad when I was drunk one night, and needless to say I needed an alignment afterwards. I got one of those 3 year ones so it's free. Pics to come fo show
