That's pretty much it. However, you'll have to make sure the shock is compressed enough to fit in there, and that's a little tough when the suspension is loaded. Jacking it up helps a lot... Good luck.

That means I can rely on the torsion bars and spring plates for couple hours right?
Thanks guys.

If it is a drive on 4 post lift you could probably unload the suspension some by jacking at the jack point with your stock jack.

Draco, will do buddy  I also need to do oil change. Been doing it myself but suddenly forgot how many quarts now, 10 or 12? :lol: I didn't drive the car much, so I didn't do it for a year or so. Maybe getting too old now
