Swapping out shocks.

I've got a set of stock height ranchos comming this week. I shouldn't have to do anything special should I? Can't I take off a bolt/nut from one end and jack up the body to swap them out? Thnx.

Welcome to FTE, dugedug.

If you ordered them specifically for the truck they should be just a bolt-up, yes.

You got it dugedug. The rears go in without any tire removal or having to jack it up. The front also, but I have heard that some folks like to remove the front tire for more room...but is not necessary.

Good luck,
biz
