Any Tips?

I just got my new HD bilstein shocks and was looking at the springs and shocks. How the heck am I supposed to get the shocks out? THere doesn't seem to be much room to get them out?

ANY TIPS?

Thanks All!

you have to unbolt the 3 bolts on top of the spring tower, then remove the bracket from the shock, then open the hood and wiggle the shock up and out through the top. be careful on the drivers side of those 12v+ wires down on the fender, sparks will fly

Guess I didn't have to drop that axle and yank the springs, eh?

It's OK, I was putting in levelling springs anyway.

Bilsteins

Don't want to rain on your parade, but I have only heard horrible stuff about the "blue and yellow" Bilsteins. Most folks I know that have ordered the 5100's have been very happy with those, including me.
