Which shocks should i change out first, front or rear?

i plan on replacing the fabtech shocks with some bilsteins, i'm buying them a pair at a time, should i do the front or rear first

i think rear would make for a better ride, but i've been told to replace the fabtech front shocks right away becasue they start to pop and screech, i think that has happend

any input would be appreciated

also, how hard is it to install the rear shocks?

I'd try to find a sale on all four. If you have a 4x4, the front and rear shocks are very easy to replace.

Thumbs up

Hmm, keep searching. I don't remember where I found them online, something like www.shocks.com or something simple, and I got my Bilstein's for $120 shipped per pair.
