Yep, there’s a pretty solid chance rear shocks have to be cut off on these trucks if they’re stock. Not my favorite design.

 

I’ve cut off every stock pair i’ve ever replaced

 

Also, don’t know if this is the right technique, to tighten top nut I held chrome rod with channel locks while I tightened the nut. Couldn’t think of any other way.

 

Unless you replace them right away

 

The lower shock mount should hold it in place

 

What’d you replace them with?

 

Nope, shaft just spun and spun

 

Bilstiens

 

Maybe I waited too long 77k for mileage. Need another paycheck before I can do the front struts

 

lol

 

On top of the stem you put an Allen key in it to stop it from spinning, but at this point it really doesn’t matter.

 

Then I’ll probably go to the store y’all talk about Radial tire and get an alignment. Might have them rebalance my tires, getting vibes, steering wheel wobble slightly

 

Boy Howdy do I feel like a dope now. Sure is a place for an Allen wrench! Well I held the channel locks all the way up top so I don’t think I hurt anything. Next time I’ll consult with you experts beforehand

 

We know things here because we have made a lot of mistakes in the past
The only mistake we dont do anymore is skip TW before any repair/mod

 

Amen well spoken. Thanks

 

If you don’t know ask ,more then likely someone has run into the same situation or can refer you to a page on TW

 

Agreed. I have received valuable info from you guys on this thread before. Thanks

 

Here are some pictures I took today. My wife lets me drive the red one

 

What about TPMS for these steelies I bought today?
Or should I just say fuck it and not worry about it?

Here's a pic of them by the way.

 

TPMS for steelies are different than TPMS for alloys. They are not interchangeable.

Steelies have their own

Alloys hce their own.
