Shock Replacement

Any tips or tricks to replacing shocks, front and rear, on a 2008 F-350? Thought I would spray some PB Blaster on the bolts a couple of days before starting the job to help removal. Anything special about this job on this truck?

TIA,

Jay

Well the rears are super easy even with out PB Blaster. I am not so sure with the fronts with coil springs. I have leaf springs in the front, so the front was easy for me too and able to be done with or without removing the front wheels.

They are pretty easy, cut and dry with or without the PB. I removed my front wheels when I did mine to give me some extra room.

It is very easy, took me about 2 hours total for 4 shocks. I did not remove the tires, just turned the front ones for easier access.

Thanks for the replies. Need to get on this as soon as the temps go down a little. Been in the 100's for the past week.
