Front Shocks
I am thinking of replacing my front shocks with a pair of billsteins.
I was wondering from anyones experience how hard of a job is this? I have the air-ride system on the back and i was looking for a better ride in the front.
Thanks

I just replaced all four a week or so ago with Rancho's rs9000x. Was pretty simple really when they were set to 1. I don't have the air ride system, but I'm sure you'll want to turn that off before jackin the rig up. Also, if the shocks that are coming off are stiff you can use a long screwdriver to pop them out of the lower bracket instead of tearing the front assemply apart. Just be sure not to do what I did to one of cv-boots... and that was cut it. DOH! I'm also not sure about the stiffness of the Billsteins. If they are pretty stiff, you'll have to be quick about putting them in and have them aligned well before you cut the strap (that is if they don't have an adjustment **** like the Ranchos).
