    Hi
    just got my 5100's from DSMS...I have searched and searched and can't seem to find the how-to thread for switching out the rear shocks...Is there even such a thread with pics?
    Could someone please post the link?
    Thanks

    Thank you for the link!
    can't wait to get started on this...I will be getting help for the fronts, but I am going to attempt the back myself. Big step for a total noob like me! :(
    One final q though...is it critical to get the foot lbs of torque exactly right? (I don't have a tool that tells me the torque poundage)
    Thanks again

    You can rent/borrow a torque wrench from a local auto parts store.

    Or if it is something you use sparingly, you can buy one from Harbor Freight for $15.
