any tricks to replacing the rear shocks? anything I should watch for?

I'm pulling the KYBs and putting on Bils this weekend... are pre-loaded springs better than the shorter ones?

Use a jack under the arms to lift and then feed the bolt thru....consider putting on some D rings for tie downs if you ever trailer it....

I got some of them here if you want. Just let me know Larry

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) cool, that's a great idea, I'll send you a pm Larry! thanks.


if I do not use pre-load springs how do you keep them lined up on the top "perch"?
