Went to my brother's place and got his pool filter to use with my pool. He's taking his pool down.

My truck beat me up, and I'm feeling it.

Got the rear King shocks on. The King shocks are about 2.5" longer and are pressurized to 250 psi. I had to lift the rear of the truck up and have both rear tires off the ground. Bolt the top of the shocks in place. Then use a small bottle jack to lift the shock up so that I could lever it into place.

Got the front driver's side shock on. The front King shocks are about 4" longer. Disconnect the sway bar. Remove limit strap. Loosen up the master cylinder so that I could wiggle it. Jack the driver side up. Fight the old shock out. Start to install new shock. Jack the truck way up. Wiggle it into place. Mount the new remote reservoir. Had to move a ground cable to make room for the remote reservoir. The hole I was going to use stripped out.

Had to retap the hole bigger and find another bolt to use.

I always hate changing shocks out on my truck. Not as fancy as yours though. I use Bilstein yellow/Blue. On my 2nd set.

Used, abused, and recycled reps.

I know that feeling. I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. My knees were not hurting. Can't say that now.

The Bilstein yellow/blue was oem on my truck. I replaced them with custom valved Bilstein 7100 with remote reservoir. Now I got custom valved Kings. The Kings are massive.

I'll post pic's tomorrow.
