update...i just changed my shocks today to bisltein 5100s, it took me about 1 hour and 45 mins. that was without removing the battery like i said in my previous post. just don't forget to never seize all those bolts, that would make it easier next time.

 

do you need to jack the truck up when changing shocks or can you do it as is on the ground?

 

I got you beat! Mine came out@ 1K.

 

no you don't need to.

 

I've got 205,000km on my stock suspension. I think it's finally time to pull the trigger on a Lorenz 5100 kit.
