they all rust

someone told me that the edelbrock shocks will never rust but i don't believe it. almost all brands of shocks are made in the same factory with the same junk just different paint and stickers.

Agreed

Yah, I have had many different brand of shocks and they all rust to hell. I would recommend Bilsteins though they are nice, Rancho if your liftin' it, and Toxic if your lowering it. Good thing most aftermarket shocks come with a lifetime warranty, we will all need it!

You only need simple hand tools (proper sized wrenches and a torque wrench), a jack and jackstand. With the money you'd waste on having a mechanic do it, you could buy a nice set of tools. Don't skimp out on the torque wrench.
