So I understand how simple it is to replace, a few bolts here, another there. Will also be installing the new sway bar as well. shocks are currently backordered, so did some more studying, and found something that needs more explaining.
I have decided to use a rent-a-garage with a lift. The lift will be the 'drive' on kind, not the arms that swing out. some vid's and instructions say to jack the axles up during install, while others make no mention of that step.
From what I see, I don't see why jacking up the axles will help, except compress the shock, making it harder to remove the bolt.
so, does it matter if I jack the axles or not?
Also, regarding sway bar. Cant find anything other than written instructions for replacing sway bar. All the vids I have seen are to install a sway bar on a rig that didn't come with one. And they all show loading the sway bar after installing, then tightening everything down once rig is lowered. Should I skip this step or is this a step not mentioned in the install that I should perform?
Thanks in advance everyone!
