Shock installation ?s
Hey guys, never done any shock changes or suspension work at all for that matter aside from the rear drop shackles so bear with me here. I just ordered a full set of Edelbrock Performer IAS shocks. Is this a job that has to be done in the shop or is it something I can tackle in the parking lot? I have access to a shop but I don't have much time to spend doing stuff like this so I would rather take care of it after hours if possible. Also, are there any special tools needed? Thanks in advance.

All you need is basic hand tools and 45-60 minutes. It is easier sometimes if you use a floor jack to droop the suspension because if you let the shocks extend on you, best of luck compressing them by hand.

Cool, thanks for the info! I will probably start on it tomorrow. My stock shocks are crap now and I don't really want to wait another week or two to have time to do it in the shop.
