Just finished putting new shocks and struts on my Tundra (350,000+miles). Sweet fancy Moses did that suck. I have all the air-tools,impact wrenches, etc..and it still took me half the day. I consider myself a pretty decent wrench too, no Tim Hancock but I hold my own.
Every bolt was frozen, I snapped one off, had to air chisel another nut off..... Don't get me started on the cheesy spring compressors they loan ya(though this was the easiest part). Are shocks always a pain in the ass or what? Where is that whiskey?
If someone tells me they would have put these on at a shop for <= $150 I may kill myself.
