I have found, putting in the bottom bolt first is a little easier?

So, was that blue floor jack used to push up on the bottom of the shock to compress it and get it to set up for putting the bolt through?

I slapped some Bilsteins on the rear of my f150 without noticeable difference in ride quality under normal and towing circumstances. She squats a lot with a 28' travel trailer hooked up. Weight distribution hitch helps, but still quite a bit of squat. Still happy with these during loaded and unloaded use? Would you do it again or try something else if you had a chance to do it over?

Your the perfect person to ask from your Bilstein shocks to these how does it ride. Would you say it's stiffer and less body roll?
@nopi982 жыл бұрын
If I’m honest, I dont notice things like body roll etc. I basically got the load adjusting shocks to level out the lift I have on the front.

May i ask why was the bilsten piston facing downward and the monroe the otherway
@nopi982 жыл бұрын
I hope this doesn’t sound like being a smart Alec but what you described in your question is the right side up for each of those shocks.

@@nopi98 go to time 1:50. The bilsten shock piston is facing downward “how you had it installed” dust boot on bottom Then u installed monroe shock with piston facing upwards. And spring on top. I never seen that. This is why i am asking. Does the bilsten shock call for being in that direction

If the Monroe shocks came with the installation straps on the shocks it would of been a ten minute job...

Im guessing monroe doesnt want to have lawsuits when idiots cut the strap holding that spring compression.

How does it drive, loaded and unloaded? What do you think of those shocks vs the 5100s that you took off?
@nopi984 жыл бұрын
As far as the drive… I haven’t noticed a difference in ride quality between the 5100s and the new Monroe shocks. What I have noticed is that the rear end Stays in a “locked” position when I hook up things like my boat when before it used to sag pretty bad
