Hi guys
I want to replace the front shocks on my shorty,and it looks a bit more complicated than the rear one's.
Are there any tips,or special precautions that I need to take when doing the job?
TIA

you need extremely heavy duty spring compressors if you want to do it yourself.
My advice, have it done by a shop. Less hassle.

Remember to do the wheel alignment after the dampers have been replaced.
While the suspension is disassambled the suspension shop can inspect the other suspension components as well, just to make sure everything is hundreds.
