If the lower shock absorber bolt deflects downward during removal, lower the axle by adjusting the support jack. # Remove the shock absorber lower mounting bolt. # While holding shock absorber, remove the shock absorber upper mounting bolt and shock absorber. # While holding shock absorber in position against the frame rail, install the shock absorber upper mounting bolt. # Install the shock absorber lower mounting bolt securing the lower end of the shock absorber to the axle. # Remove the support jack. # Lower the vehicle to the ground so the full curb weight of the vehicle is supported by the suspension. # Tighten the upper and lower shock absorber mounting bolt to a torque of 88 N·m (65 ft. lbs.).
