    HAHAHAHA oh boy. That's a good one. Real good. It competely depends on the truck setup. I can't do the rear shocks on my truck without taking the wheels and drums off.

    Wish the factory used anti seize when they put these things together. It's our friend.

    My volvo was great with the inboard shocks, it was a 99 and in 2000 they went to outboard, much harder. The sleeper shocks are a disaster however, but a 379 is really easy. My current t800 has ag200 suspension converted to ag400 and it's a pain.

    i just put a set of cab shocks on my truck the other day and it probably took me a good 2+hrs. had to cut all 4 bolts as they were seized into the metal bushings. plus a quick run to the hardware store for new bolts ect.

    Put 4 Monroes on a trailer & were great. Put 2 on steer axle & leaked. Never thought much of it or brought it up before the warranty was out, but not all that impressed with Monroe.
