Suspension Help

Yep, still fully assembled. You just need to do a straight swap, don't worry about any spring compressing. That is only needed when removing the spring from the coilover. Just take the Fox out (3 nuts on top, one bolt on the bottom) and slide those in.

 

I don’t need to take any bolts off from the lower control arm to the frame? Or the two bolts that go from the lower control arm knuckle

 

Just remove the 3 bolts at the top of the strut assembly and the single bolt at the bottom of the strut assembly, remove the sway bar bracket on the side you are working on then Loosen the two bolts that attach the lower control arm, this will allow the lower control arm to drop so you can remove the strut assembly. Replace the unit with your stock unit and you are done. since the vehicle is totaled you don't need to worry about messing up anything with the alignment. Of course, make sure you jack up the truck safely and use jack stands.

 

Update: I was able to swap out my front and back shocks with the stock suspension successfully. Thanks for the help guys

 

Sweet! Good job!
