Don't be intimidated. If you are mechanically inclined, have plenty of tools and a cool place to work. It isn't very difficult.
It's a great upgrade over the worn down, weak control of the factory shocks and sway bar. I really liked the tighter control I gained.
I adjusted the Hellwig to the inner, tightest setting and haven't gone back to the middle setting.
But at this point I'm starting to wonder if going with the 5100 series shocks and the 1-1/4" rear sway bar would be any more harsh.
If I am not mistaken the 5100's have multiple ring grooves, so perhaps the raising the front snap ring would level the truck?
It would be interesting to find out. But it will have to wait until after I change the tires to Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2

What shocks do you recommend for the rears? I thinks it’s due time my trucks at 96k and riding a little rough.
