Re: '99 burban - changing shocks
Take a look and see what you think, or tell us what kind of mechanical experience you have. For me, very easy. You have a couple bolts on each one, very basic tools are all you need. The only problem you can run into is rust on the bolts making them hard to turn. With a 650 ft. lb. impact, it takes me about an hour from when I get the keys to when I give the keys back. That includes a check for anything that we can try to upsell. If you have the capability, I have found it is easier to tighten the front top nut to remove it. Backing it off spins the shock unless you hold it, which is a PITA with one person. Tightening it just snaps the stud and it falls right out after a couple seconds. Not possible with hand tools or weak air tools. The control arm will drop when the shock is removed, and you will need to position it with a floor jack before installing the new one. The rear axle will sometimes drop a bit, same deal there if it does.
