I'm going to install my rear 5100's myself and possibly a 1" rear spacer. I'm prety good mechanically, but have never replaced rear truck shocks before. Anyone have any links to instructional videos or tips for installation without using a lift?

It is very self explanatory once you get under there. The top bolts are a pain to get at but other than that, very basic install. I found removing the axle end bolt on the trackbar gives the needed clearance/movement to get the spacers in place. Remember to torque the bolt down when the truck is back on the ground.

Thanks!
