Hey guys

I haven't been around for a WHILE.... But I remember when I was on here earlier in the year, I found a very detailed "How To" thread with pictures on how to change the front shocks on a 2004 F-150. I want to do it myself, but want to make sure I can before I start. I plan to take them off my truck and home and run the set-up to the shop and use their spring compressor to do the swap..

I did do a seach, but I didnt see it..

Thanks

Or does anyone have "how to" instructions.. or is it straight forward once I get under there...

 

Ok.. I found what I was looking for.....

 

Good deal! Sorry you were talking to yourself! LOL

 

O.k. bro , post where you got your info from. I am about to tackle the same job

 

Look under Special Interest -> How To's -> on page 3 look for the "Auto Spring Install with Pics".... Pretty good write up. I knew it was pretty straight forward but wanted to know if there were any tricks to help out.. Still gotta have a shop swap the springs over though...

 

I took my fronts to Patrick. He rented a spring compressor, and he and one of his buddies installed mine. There are a few pics in this album.
