Yes, ours have the bar pin with a bolt on either side of the shock to bolt up to the frame. There are such things as bar pin kits for regular shocks, and bar pin eliminator kits for our style shocks, but I'm not sure I want to experiment with what might work or not work. I haven't ordered my new rear shocks yet but plan to shortly.

Ordinarily I'd agree. Having never done a hub on the truck, I took my time. Only took 2 hours of actual work. Those two bolts on the caliper mounting bracket are a royal PITA.

Took my Ex on one of the first good runs since my thermostat upgrade, the temps were a solid 202 and it looks like the MPGs are a bit higher, at least according to my lie-o-meter... Oh, and my Ex must have given birth or something, because all of the sudden, there are two other mineral grey Ex's running around here
