Installing shocks on a 04' F-150

Has anyone installed shocks on an 04' F-150. Any pointers would be welcome. Thanks

I think the biggest problem is safe use of the spring compressor on the front shocks. Do a search on the subject, see what threads you get.

I recently changed to the Eibach pro damper kit. Installation is very straight forward, just remove and replace. The spring compressor is simple to use for the mechanically inclined.

Also, you need a heavy duty spring compressor for the F-150 coilsprins.

I rented one from AZ when I did mine, then bought one later for my tool collection.

Still in the package. I figure it's a good tool to have, no more excuses to change struts any more.
