    Need to replace mine on a Cascadia. Where do you guys have the best luck in price and actually having some decent ones like Monroe gas in stock?

    Monroe is good now? Ones I've had ride like a brick
    Hendrickson or Sachs ride way better

    I've never installed shocks before and wouldn't have the tools for the job. Recommendations on a decent shop for this job?

    Doesn't have to be today or tomorrow. Just asking in general. But if it helps I'm going to Florida from MO, then to KS.

    I have a local shop, but they're closed weekends, so I have to take additional time off to get in there. Hoping to knock it out while on a 10 or something.

    All you need is a jack + stand and an impact wrench. It's only two bolts per shock.

    I'm literally the most un-mechanicaly inclined person and it only took me a few hours to change mine.

    You don't need jack stand.
    And btw I've seen add from Freightliner in OH ( I think) selling Sachs for Cascadia for 40 bucks each. Good deal
