It’s a pain in the ass, I did it on my 15, fought the first side for 3 hours but once I figured it out it took me 45 min to do the other side
Rough country has good step by step videos. Whether or not you got their stuff it’s the same steps.
Easy if you watch a video first. Disconnect your neg battery terminal before you start. Drop the lower control arm to get the strut out (You will want 2 people to reinstall but can be done with 1 if you’re patient) if you just do one side at a time you will have to turn the strut backwards when you reinstall with level. If you do both at the same time you’ll swap left and right so bolts line up. Watch the videos first!
Thanks guys. I did some research on it. Don’t seem to bad. But that’s from guys who do that stuff every day. I’ll post some pics when i finish!
With a little practice takes 2 hours. Plan a day for it with a buddy and take it slow it’s really not bad
If you get stuck shoot me a pm i have done about 10 of these
Make sure you have a big ass pry bar, and a big ass breaker bar for the lower control arm bolts. Make sure you have the right sized sockets for the lower control arms bolts too, I had to run out to get one.
Make sure you have a cooler filled with beer. You might even want to invest in a bottle of Jack Daniel’s ‘just in case’. If you have small children, keep them away as this job usually requires the generous use of the “F” word. Good Luck!
