This weekend I'm installing new Bilstien shocks on my 2000 DII (stock suspension). The rears were pretty easy to do..then came the fronts.

I unbolted the two nuts holding the bottom of the the shock..then unbolted the top of the shock. So...how do you get the shock out to replace it with a new one? I tried lowering the axle and unbolting the top mounting cone, but I still can't finagle it out!!!

Whats the trick?

Thanks,
Will

Will,

Dont mess with the shock tower. When the top of the shock is completely out, just lower the axle, and give the shock a tap on the top, then when it falls out, compress it and the spring , and pull it and the spring out
