Rear Shock Replacement

I would appreciate any pointers on the process. I hear that access can be an issue due to clearance of the frame and bed. Plan to change them out tonight so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Rear ones are easy. Bolts out, bolts in...It's that simple. check the bolts a week later to make sure they're tight still.

ALLDATAdiy.com shows a torque spec of 66 ft. lbs.

Also make sure you toss the nut and bolt and use new hardware. Most Suspension repairs on Fords call for new hardware.

Yes very easy, so easy a caveman could do it! I did it in about 20 mins in my driveway.
