    Ok yeah that would be a really nice addition. Did you have to buy a hose to just attach when you are using it?

    Drivers side was awful, the bottom bolt on the shock eyelet was almost seized which could be one of my noises!! Then getting the new coilovers and shock eyelet to line up and slide the bolt through was a royal pain. Done though, time to take it in for hopefully my final alignment for a while

    Nicely done! I didn't know you were solo though. The least I could have done was come over and drink your beer. :D





    Oh and maybe hand you tools!;)

    I thought you were gone eric, otherwise I was gonna call you for advise!! I was worried when I couldn't get the lower shock bolt lined up, had the truck half way in the garage and had to finish so I could close the door. I'm spent!!!

    Yeah I get frustrated like this too. I am thankful sometimes that I don't have a plasma cutter or I might just remove the entire front end. :eek:

    Trust me I thought about it Ray!! But then I realized if I cut the bolt, I didn't have another on hand and needed to pull it out of the garage to close the door and go to sleep.

    Eric, I spy something RT related!!!

    I don't remember if the fronts are the same as the rears, but the threads on my rear lower shock bolts were all buggered up from rocks. I got replacements grade 10.9 at home Depot for a couple bucks.
    Flipped them around so it doesn't happen again.

    It might just be the picture, but do you think your tires might be under inflated or something? Looks like your outer treads have noticeably more than the center.

    Those are new though right?
