No sarcasm was intended! Just tried to add a smile.

They should be an internal compression fitting, but it should just take a wrench to remove. They aren't like fuel lines.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...........

I'll post a pic when I get home to show you what it looks like

I love sarcasm and it always brings me a smile though sometimes it may not be warranted by others in the middle of the night on a call.

Don't forget a pic of that boulder. I'm guesing it was 2feet in diameter?

On the bright side, you've learned more than many others about your cooling system

If you've got oversize tires and some cash sitting around, go for a dual set up. Otherwise, replace the stock one with a higher quality shock. Super simple to replace with hand tools.

Just 285 75 16. I travel to Seattle for work occasionally and need to fit the rig in their parking garages.

Bilsteins work? or something else?

I read a thread a while back where a guy used a regular Bilstein for his steering stabilizer and wished he hadn't. IIRC, it wore out prematurely so he got to replace it anyway, lol.
