I have pics of the 0-2" preload adjustables already installed, but not of the actual installation. It's a pretty simple install. What do you need to see?

Yeah I installed them myself. The only special tool I needed was a coilspring compressor. I just rented one from Autozone. I had a 2.5" AS before I put in the 5100s so I used the install instructions from those since the 5100's don't tell you how to get the front end apart.

Here's a link to the AS install instuctions https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...ospring+pic%2A

The 5100 instructions will get you through the rest.

is it possible to take apart all the bolts at home and just take the new shocks with the springs to a shop and let them put that together, then take it back home and install them? (in other words i dont have a spring compressor) am i making sence?
