2wd front shock`s

Does anybody know how hard it would be to change out the front shocks on my 06 2 wheel drive, I have basic tools as im in Arizona for the winter, going to change out to some Bilsteins, thanks

Pretty easy to do. Will need to jack up the front end a little or run up a set of ramps to gain some clearance for removing the shocks.

It is even easier than MikeyB stated. Simply take your Bilsteins and $50 to your local tire shop. Give the shocks and the $50 to the tech, sit in the warm waiting room, have a cup of coffee and in 1/2 hour you will be driving off with your new front Bilsteins.

I recently replaced all 4 OEM shocks with Bilstein HDs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Put the BILSTEINS on my 2004.0 2WD. Just fine. Recommend them.
