Installed these shocks on my 2002 F 250 yesterday and this video was helpful so thank you for posting. Couple suggestions to pass along when doing the front shocks. It is much easier to do this job when removing the tire, I cant imagine doing this with the tire on. I used a floor jack to lift the truck and with the tire off everything is very accessible.
When removing the lower bolt on the front shock break loose and remove the bolt with your wrench on the 15mm bolt instead of the 21mm nut. There is a 90 degree clip that is part of the nut and if you try and loosen the nut side that clip will bend as it loosens. If you loosen from the bolt side it will come off clean and not bend.

If you go to the Bilstein web site it shows a different rear shock for dually vs non dually for F350’s... just a heads up

Nice install vid. How have your road tests been since upgrading?

Nice video. You should make another channel just for the Diesel truck to draw in the 7.3L crowd and get a thousand subscribers. If you get that 1K subs you can monetize and get paid for your videos. It will pay for all your truck repairs or other things. Thanks for sharing and the shock link. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
