you dont need to remove the wheel. just turn the wheel opposite from which side you are working on (drivers side, crank wheel right) and remove bolts, bring vice grips lol. oh and when installing, you can easily sneak it in if you compress the shock all the way and go in from the back, (you must do this quickly) insert the stud into the top mount, and let the shock extend while lining up the bottom mount, done!

i had a good trip last night. went to change my shock bushings to theromplastic, driver side shock came out excellent! who knew luck would shift in favor of evil.. so i turn the passenger side top nut, SNAP oops broke the stud clean off the shock.. great. had to drive down to work with ONE front shock (it felt like i was driving a teeter totter on wheels!) and yeah so now i have 3 rancho 5000's (2.5 years old) and one brand new monroe reflex hahaha what a strange ride

I think Im going to give some KYB's or the Edelbrocks a go, anyone had good / bad experience with either of them?

I'm also looking into changing all 4 shocks on my 98 4dr XLT. I'm debating between Monroe Sensa-Trac vs Rancho 5000

Can anyone shed some light on this......opinions or experience ??

thanks..

yea i'm going to kyb's too, so i'd like to know how they are. specifically, i was looking at gr2's b/c they are cheap and appear to be decent shocks. i also was looking for a fairly stiff ride
