“carefully remove this bolt” … starts beating on it with a hammer 😂
Not sure if that was supposed to be a joke but it made me laugh 😂😂😂

Great process video - I watched it hoping for socket/wrench sizes so that I didn't have to push the service cart a hundred yards to the jobsite...

Great and helpful videos,
My 7.3 has a 6” lift any reccomendations on some shocks? I was planning on getting bilstein 5100s

Great Video, I have to replace the Rear Shocks on my 2006 Ford F250 and this Video came in really handy.👍👍

Just curious about going to the local alignment shop. Shocks don't have anything to do with alignment. They just dampen the spring's recoil.

What is the purpose of "charging the shock"? I am not familiar with this. Thanks.

[tomsmith]

Can you do the rear shocks with tires on the ground?

[Smtty]

Lol those things are torqued to RUST foot pounds 😂

[Anthonythesider]

I love when you guys work on rusty shit

[DISOPtv]

Never heard of "charging a shock."

So the top bolt that my shock should attach to sheered off. Any ideas

[patrickwhelan]

I am shocked that whole pieces of that frame don't just fall off with every sincere 'whack".

[scottk]

Great video but man I am glad I don't live in the RUST belt, that frame is almost gone

Does the direction of bottoms bolt matter ?
