Okay an update!!! I changed one of my shocks and wtf haha it was extremely easy haha how the hell do they think it's worth $100+ of labor....but now I've encountered an issue....my other rear shocks washer is literally BENT into my nut...so I can't unscrew it... haha story of my life. So I'm thinking about taking it to someone who has a saw of some kind and having them saw through the bent portion of the washer so I can unscrew the nut. Either that or I'll look and see what ace hardware has and maybe I can get a hand saw myself or something.
but yea it was pretty damn easy! Also, my next door neighbor was telling me I may need a compressor to hold the spiral thingy down for the front shocks (lol I can't think of the name for it, total brain far right now).
This will save some cranial flatulence:
Go over to your truck, and look at it.
LOOK at your suspension, drive train, etc.
If you look at it first, you will notice the things that keep popping out, and, it will help you immensely as far as context for all of this.
When looking at it, try to see how it would work.
Shackles swing in/out at the back of your leaf packs, the front of the packs are captured in your frame (no shackles), you have upper and lower control arms in front....the torsion bars run from the lower arms back to the cross member about under your front seats, and so forth....do one function at a time.
Look at it, and, try to visualize it all moving. It will take a few looks for sure, there are a lot of things, based upon your questions thus far, that you will be familiarizing yourself with....so this is not a one day project for most people.
Take pics, and, if you don't know what something is/how it works, etc...post the pic and questions...etc.
