    im hoping FEDEX drops off the other rear shock tonight...not sure why amazon sprlit the order between UPS and FEDEX.

    Front end feels much better, will let yall know how the ride is when all 4 are swapped.

    got the rears on yesterday. they were a ***** to get off. bolts/nuts were frozen.

    The second i put the socket on this nut the whole stud snapped off. hadly gave it any torque.
