    Ordered some King rear shocks a while back... they finally came in, but I didn’t get any install instructions. Even though I’ve never removed/installed shocks on my Tacoma, I imagine it’s fairly straightforward... Nuts on top, nuts/bolts on bottom, PB Blaster on everything... how hard can it be? But what about the external reservoirs? The shocks came with 4 worm clamps and 2 nuts/2 bolts... how does that work? Bottom line, can anyone tell me what to expect, must/must-not do, tips/tricks, etc.? Or better yet, share a copy of detailed install instructions? Thanks in advance TacomaWorld!
