1) Ratchet & Socket Set
2) Wrenches
3) Hacksaw(if you have a metal/aluminum rear/belly skid plate)
4) Pneumatic Cut-off tool(if you have a metal/aluminum rear skid plate)
1) Rear Shock Re Valved (to your specs)
1) Rear Shock Link
because the rear end will drop like a ton of bricks once you take out
the rear shock. I used a strap to strap the rear grab bar to the ceiling
of my garage.
Step 2 While your shock is out getting upgraded, you can cut/modify
your skid plates. I have PRM skids and both the belly pan and swing
arm skid plates had to be cut. This is because the new link you will
receive drops the rear end about an inch. If you have another brand
skid then you might want to wait and see if they need to be cut. I am
pretty sure most skids will need to be cut. (figure 1&2)
Step 3 Once received, install your rear shock replacing your stock
linkage piece with the one provided. (figure 3)
I know we have not gone into real detail on this install but there is not
much to it. Especially if you have the stock plastic skid plates which will
be easy to cut/modify. I only rated it 3 wrenches because most people
have aluminum skids and the cutting can be a little difficult.
