If your shocks broken then it`s not a problem. Just use an angle grinder and grind them out.

Pressing it in in the new ones is no problem...

They`re great so far...

I`ve about 100psi in them, they`re able to take 200psi, so there`s much capability left. The ride is fine, even a little better than before...

You can get airshocks from autozone that come with the upper brackets. If you get the shocks from a fullsize truck you will get even more lift and have a longer shock for flexing.

do you need a special kind of compressor or anything to use them?

No, it`s the same valve like on the tires. You can pump them to about 140psi, so if you have a compressor that pushes that it`s fine...

I have mine at about 90psi right now...

Installed my new blend door actuator, but it didn`t work. After I opened the cases, i saw why:



Left one is the new...

Not sure what to do with that damn thing...

Remounted the washer tank today:





Also installed the new rear wiper motor today. The new one didn`t work too. You can hear the motor spinning, but the gears are broken.
That`s the second spare part from 4 that don`t work...

Good location for the windshield washer fluid, I'll have to do that too when I make my snorkel.

Hmm, i don't think it'll fit with the 2" bodylift. It's really close to the hood on mine, i even had to trim the bottle on the lowest mount...
