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 |
